Sorry I'd never heard that term before. I'd heard curing, cycling but never cooking. and with so many people "Baking" there rock these days I thought it was the lates thing to do

well picked up my tank tonight, looks pretty good!!! debating about the sandbed now tho, i dont want to be fighting the coraline all over my faux bed, or permantly gluing my bulkheads in, thats just asking for trouble...and since i'm not really a big fan of the BB look. 'm thinking i might just go with a thin layer of sand and hopefully my flow doesnt blow the sand everywhere...starting the build on my stand tonight or tomorrow so hopefully I'll have it running by the end of the weekend, i'll post some pics later on tonight if i got time.

Heh, more than likely it's my cube, I still haven't got a chance to pick it up yet

Livestock plans sound good

I'd go with a Seio for flow. You can take off all the housing and make them Tunze style, they work great like that. I'd definitely use that...

As for clams, you could easily do it. I had a Crocea in a 20g with no problems. But, wait a few months before adding one.. let everything stabalize and mature. (yeah, it sucks.. but its better than wasting the cash)
