Here's mine I just got 2 days ago. Since I can't adjust the exposure on my camera, the picture is kinda washed out and you can't see the gold in it that well.

Posting lighting is a good idea.

The tank is a 75gwhich is 24in tall. I'm running 2 x 250watt 20k Radiums on icecap ballasts and 2 x 40watt NO 5500's. With only the radiums, the color was a little too blue for my taste. The pics were with my hood lifted 18 inches in order to get the camera in above the water. Usually the lights run about 6 in over the water.

The pics of my clams are on the first page. They are under
4 x 110 VHO. Both clams are on the sandbed. I think my bulbs are 2 actinics and 2 50/50's.

Very sorry for your loss

I will get him though, on a mission now even if i have to haul 150# of rock from the tank!!
