Okay Ill give it a little more time. Just wondering though since Ive had the clam this long wouldn't it have shown signs of the Tathrella snails bothering it by now? Ive done lots of research on clams lately since I plan on having more in the coming weeks but I haven't really found any info as...

GS- Well I havent added any new fish. There is a Six line wrasse, 2 false percs, 2 chromis, & 1 cleaner shrimp. I have checked for the snails but couldn't find anything. I have never seen the fish nip at the mantle (except the wrasse checking out the shell) but every once in a while a snail...

JJ Its a 55g 18" tall and with the clam on the sand in brings it close to 18"-19" from the lights. The lights front to back are W,B,W,B. The daylight bulbs are 10k. I recently purchased two 150w HQI pendants but Im still trying to have a hood made to accomidate the needed clearance. :?

Mike- Its not a "not enough light" issue. As I stated there are no signs of gaping or bleaching (well forgot to mention that). You are correct about the lighting issue but contrary to that rule Derasa and Squamosa clams can be kept under PC's (to a certian degree of course) if they are...

Well four days ago the mantle on my 5" derasa began to pinch near the exhalent siphon. He was and still expands well with no signs of gaping. I have been keeping up with all of the posts in the last few months regarding the mysterious deaths and pinched mantles, and the thing that gets me about...

Do you have yours in a canopy or hanging above?

Has anyone used or currently using these pendants? Particularly the 150watt DE. Is the light spread any better than PFO pendants? Any complaints or comments? Ive searched but I didnt really find much on these. Any help would be greatly appreciated

oooohhhhhh I didnt think about that! 8O 8O I dont even want to imagine it! maybe Ill just stick to my PC's or have another canopy made......damn wish I had the stuff to do it myself

I would like to upgrade my lighting on my 65gal. Im currently running 2-96watt PC's and would like to add 2-175watt MH's and maybe run the PC's with 2 actinics. But my problem is clearance. I have a canopy that only leaves 6" above the waterline and 5" from the glass covers. Once everything is...

:lol: that was a good one O P / 7 next time I go there Ill keep a look out! Oh and the store was in LA

You know your addicted when: Your girlfriend asks you what you want for Christmas and you say "An AB Aqua spacelight w/ 2 250watt HQI lamps and 2 24watt blue PC's (like the kid from a christmas story) and she replies "ohhh honey something that you need" :? You decide to take a road trip to a...

6 months ago I completely removed all sponges from my sump and since then I have noticed a big difference (I do still have one in my hang-on overflow and that I do clean once a week). But without the filter bag and sponges I notice less unwanted algae (besides the cyano breakout) although it...

Cool! Thats exactly what I was hoping for. Instead I get Homer and Moe :? Thanks Sea Serpent BTW do you have any pictures of the two?

Yeah I stopped after I noticed the cyano. It sucks too because for the money it lasts longer then DT's
