Skinz78's new clam tank

Sorry for the mistaken post already

Alright I finally got a chance to take a few pic's of my new setup.

Tank: 125 gallon acrylic 5'Lx20"Dx24"W W dual overflows
Lighting 1 48" Tek t5 6 bulb, 4 individual 36" 39w t5 strips
30 gallon sump w fuge
Odessa wp 700 return pump for fuge
Dolphin amp master closed loop pump
100lbs live rock
100lbs live sand
1 Hydor Korlina #4
2 2" and 4 3" fans in hood

No skimmer
No calcium reactor, for some unexplained reason ca is between 420 and 500 ppm

I have a 300 w heater that never is used, my tank stays at 82-84 deg from heat put off by lights and pumps


FISH
1 Sailfin tang
1 Lawnmower blennie
1 Bangaii cardinal
1 scooter blennie
2 blue damsel
1 yellow damsel

Inverts
2 Peppermint shrimp
1 Harlequin shrimp
1 Camel shrimp
1 Emerald crab
mixed reef, sps, lps, zoo's, ric's

Clams
1 gigas
3 squamosa's
3 crocea's
2 derasa's
7 maxima's 5 more coming

You may see in the pic's I have some small maxima's 1 is only about 3/4" I am really keeping my fingers crossed.

Enjoy the pic's, These are only a few of my clams. I am a horrible photographer though so be kind
