Scott, some great photos! The clams are looking pretty happy in your new setup. Any news on a new tank?

Well,

Good news-bad news. I have set up and completed my large tank build (225). But alas, I have had a major crash in my clam tank. All told, 11 out of 16 clams toast. I have fianlly managed to arrest the losses (i think). So, I am now starting to re-stock my new clam tank (100 gallon bow front) with more critters. In the transfer from the 40 gallon to the 100, I had a heater blow out and cause a major heat surge. Total Freak act, but it was costly.

Now I have a 1/5th hp chiller in route, and have tweeked my heating system. The good news is that the Really big maximia survived, however the 9 inch squamosa did not. But it did provide an entertaining feed for my two zebra eels. (it was all ready dead)

As soon as i can I will have pics of the suvivors and new additions. Merry freakin christmas.

Ouch buddy...so sorry to hear.

So where did you fit that 225? I know your place and I'm having trouble with the mental picture.

This is not a freak act. Lots of crappy heaters out there. Would you mind giving up the make of the heater. You should sent the heater company a bill for your clams! See if there is customer service left in this world. Hope it gets better for ya

LOL,

I did not actually think of that. The rep for the distrobution company is a friend. Im going to give him a call.

I have switched it to an E??bojager (sp) and also adjusted the placement in the tank. It was in the sump when it poped, now in the tank.

I dought they will pony up the grand worth of clams. It's worth a try though.

As far as the 225, Mark you will have to come over for a beer. Call me!

I remove the three bow fronts from the living room, Combined the two reef into the 225 it now sits where my corner reef was and along the wall. The TV is moved to where the fresh corner was. The fresh corner is now my clam tank. The wife's tank is no more. The freshies went into the other corner bow freshie tank in dining room. The nano was condensed into my clam tank. My old clam tank i traded (plus a few bucks) with dobber for his 225.

The Big Maxima is doing better now, I have the big crocea, a small crocea, Small Maxima, and the large Derasa. Im soothing the pain now that the tank has settled again. 5 clams on order from a trans shipper due today. My fingers are crossed.

My chrismas present to me...Hopefully im still married when the bill comes in. The wife does not know. LOL
