Congrats on the growth...looks like you're a naturally at growing these sticks! And if it makes you guys feel better I don't even have water in my tank yet. Especially in my sump...which has a leak somewhere.

Thanks yous two.


Operation xenia removal was implemented, and executed to the extreme.There isnt a squiff of visible xenia left in the tank. I tried to be as careful as possible to not let bits of it float of into the tank but some of the xenia had grown onto the glass. Will have to wait and see if it springs up again somewhere in the near future ..... I wont wait to remove it if it does. Thanks to ElGuappo for lending me the extra hand I needed to remove a rock that was a foundation type rock that was supporting a whack of others. I cant believe how much better I feel about how the tank looks without that big chunk of xenia infested rock that was in the left front corner of the tank. I have some shuffling to do now as Im not sure what to put where. Im not happy with where one or two of the new clams are. Catherine (one of the resident clam gurus) and Kevin are going to come and have a look at the flow patterns in my tank and try to help me decide where to put them. I know that clams are not crazy about alot of flow, which poses some problems in my tank. Just wanna make sure its a good spot before I let them root in. The bi-color angel seems to have taken an interest in the clams. There has been some nipping but as far as I can tell no damage and the clams all seem to have good extension with their mantles. Will have to wait and see with that situation too. There may be either a bi-color angel for sale or some clams in the near future. Hope not, I love them all

Have an empty strawberry bucket? If not a nice eggcrate box will work well too to guard against clam raids.

I also can't believe you got a day off. How does one accomplish such a thing? I think you need to share your secret! :P

It appears, (and I hope it stays this way) that the nipping that I observed may have just been some exploratory tastes. I suspect that if the little shite was intent on eating the clam he would be much more relentless in his chomping. Would like to avoid putting a strawberry basket in the tank for obvious reasons. Thanks for the tip though. The bi-color has put a serious doubt in my plans to bring home one of the incredible potters angels that are at the store right now. I have always wanted a potters but they are supposed to be more prone to nip at corals and clams than the other dwarf angels. That coupled with the fact that if I added one, that would make three angels in my tank and that could be asking for trouble. The potters at the store are considerably bigger than the flame and bi-color that I have so I think there would be a big power struggle. But the fact that the potters are bigger may be the reason that adding him may work.....hmmmmmm.

The time off is unexpected and unwanted, being that it is so close to x-mas. It did however allow me to get some of those "I'll do it later" type things that the tank needed done.
