Yup, had seahorses with large Squamosas, Derasas & other clams. No problem. Of course that was just my experience and other clams may be more sensitive to a curious or passing pony.

I'm really happy about this news regarding the clams! If all goes well, clams will be a big part of the display.

Here is the new stand...



I added in a 2nd vertical support in the front in case I ever want to up size to single 80"x24" tank.

Thanks!

I'm using Google Sketchup. I took a couple of 20 minute tutorials on it last year (free on Google). It is really easy to use. That rendering took me about 5 minutes. If you need help making a rendering, let me know.

While I'm sitting on my butt at home, Dave is crating my tank at 8pm! Should be here soon.

Also, getting the tank built in Calgary by Concepts and shipped to Vancouver was literally half the price that I was being quoted in Vancouver.
