New clam and SPS

[robbyville]

Hi folks,

So after waiting a few weeks to get the tank used to the new lighting, the wife and I went out to get some new stuff!

We picked out a few SPS frags from J&L and also bought a 2.5 inch maxima.

I have done some research on clams and figured that this would be a good way to start. If anyone out there has some helpful hints or words of wisdom that might save me from the constant searching please share!

Lastly, I have heard that a "Gaping" clam is an unhappy clam, what is the difference between open and gaping?

Thanks,

Rob
