I actually only started prodibio a little over 1 month ago, so here's to hoping that it catches up. Before that, due to the skimmer crack/basement flood I had run for about 2 months without even a skimmer, so I'm sure that things went a little haywire due to that.

btw The 5" to 6" Ultra Maxima clams will be arriving in a couple of weeks. They will be available at fine reef keeping stores across Canada.
Tim, that is the tank that I had come across that made me scheme about this little plan!! Also, I've already purchased one of these ultra maximas you speak of, and if they're as nice as they sound, I'll be grabbing another when they show up... I've been patiently waiting... WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!?!?!?!?!? hahaha... just kidding.
