I finally got the tunze ato set up (after much head scratching over the instructions, or lack there of). I really like how it works. I had to break out the dremel and modify the trim on the inside of the sump to get the mounting bracket to sit correctly. Other than that, the tricky part was the clamp assembly on the mounting bracket. Better instructions would have helped big time here. They must have the same instruction design team as Ikea

.
I also added a second TLF phosban reactor to run carbon through. I had been running carbon in a media bag in a Aquaclear HOB filter on the sump but that was noisier than the entire system. I am gonna give the rowa-carbon a try.
Annnd I switched out another couple bulbs. I didnt like how yellow the geissmann midday bulb made the tank look so I swapped it out for a geissmann actinic+. I will know how I like it tomorrow as I made the switch after the lights went out tonight.
The regal isnt looking any better

Heres some new TD clam shots for the junkies out there

Thanks guys. These wernt the first to go from that particular shipment. Catherine took first pick if I remember correctly. It didnt mater...there wasnt a "bad" clam in the entire shipment. Lance the maximas are 1 1/2" to 2" and the crocea is about 3". I have another green crocea that is about 5".

Most things Ive read about pop-eye say that it is rare that it effects only one eye??? Other than the swelling the eye appears to be normal. No milky or cloudy appearance. I think the swelling may be going down. It doesnt appear as puffy as yesterday.
