Thanks Shawn & Jon ......Ive got no will power when it comes to clams...

Im kinda excited to go into work today....my skimmer should be there*hopes hopes hopes the shipment got here this week* been a looooong wait....really curious to see if the BKs are indeed the shizz or not... Ive always wondered if people just say that it is, just to justify the cost???....I will be kinda sad to see the Euro-reef go, it is a damn good skimmer.....and No!....its not for sale...(Ive had threre or four people ask if they could buy it when I get the BK)

Heres some more pics

Your tank is awesome as always man! Photos are definitely looking great too. That second last pic...did you glue the frag right to the rocks? What do you normally do?

What makes a clam 'ultra'? It's nice for sure but that sort of makes me chuckle.

Thanks Brett.....Depends on what the frag is on and where I wanna put it....Im not at all afraid to modify the plugs or LR with a dremel to get things mounted properly....

Ultra is just a grade....you know like grade "A" alberta beef.....Ultras usually have far better coloration than regular grade clams

How do you use a dremel to tool the LR? Isn't it underwater?

Ya that probably wouldnt work too well huh?....I more meant that if the frag is on LR then I will sometimes shape the rock to get it to sit right....although I have taken apart the rock work and removed rock from the tank to tweak it a bit...whatever it takes to get things looking right.

Yep, love the new clam. I'd consider one myself but the imperator angel would probably eat it.
