I keep tallin ya, you have an open invitation(you might wanna make time before I tear this thing down)


Im definitely a zoaholic, but when you couple that with the fact that Im also a clamaddict usually equals very little cash actually makes it home from RC there gotta be some kind of twelve step program somewhere for us reefheads

gonna be some "doubles" in here but I was shooting with two different cams







same clam.....different angles

Your rock work is soooo nice.
How did you get all your rock to sit like that?

the structures on each end were done with a pvc sub-frame, the rock is attached with "zipties" and "firmed" up with epoxy......the center structure is free standing.....

sprung a leak at some point last night.......not much water made it to the floor, but the floor under the tank is definitely wet*just what I need.....damage the hardwood floor two months before I move*.....I found the leak(one of my hose clamp connections) and quickly fixed it, but in the process I created another leak at the bulkhead......I go to grab the big channel-lock pliers the give the bulkhead a turn...... and doh!.......Mikey has all my pliers and wrenches!.......@#$*......now Ive got a drippy bulkhead.......thats when frustration set in and I managed to get the bulkhead tightened(ever so slightly) by hand.....seems to have stopped the leak, but will have to snug it more later when I get decent pair o pliers.....I sat there for an hour trying to get the water under the tank to leech into towels.......got a big fan blowing in the general direction......hopefully I didnt bugger the floor up
