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.

I forgot to mention. What a difference one bulb makes! The actinic+ for midday swap is a winner. I love the way it looks. The spread is from the front to the back (first six- tek light, last two- hagen light)

I am doing some work in the tank this afternoon so will quickly do the glass and snap a couple shot when it gets dark outside(otherwise I get major glare from the living room window).

My regal is almost 100% better. It has been just over two weeks and was starting to worry he was going to loose the eye. Looks like my decision to leave it in the display and wait things out worked out this time.

Nems is evil....have I mentioned that? My green bta split.....Now I have three!

Hey doug. This is Sean, that silly guy who was doing some reno work at maxwell beside RC. Long time no see I really need to find time to get down to that end of town. Why are you guys so far! Anyways I've been trolling your build for a while now and everything looks great. I also recently took out a g midday too. I found I got way to much algae stimulation with it and also it's very "white". I replaced it with a kz fiji purple and loved it.


Oh I also read in a diff post that you been dosing with "some" ZEO product and have had good results. I have moved into a full ZEO dosing regiment (minus the reactor) and have had great results aswell. Just a question, I read you don't use the zeo amino acid product because it's much cheaper. Im wondering if you have had good results with it. Some people have posted switching from the Zeo amino to another product and then ending up switching back due to the results. I trust your opinion though and honestly saving any coin in this hobby is a good thing.
