Whao!! Those are some huge clams. Did you get that when they are that big or they grew on you? How long had you had them?

Tank looks great as usual! Time for some close ups? I know you have plenty of those.

The two large clams have been with me for a while...the derasa was purchased a little over a year ago as a 6" speciman and the squamosa I purchased as a 4" speciman maybe 30 months ago...the little blue maxima dwarfed by them was added about a year ago and started under 3"....

I do have a ton of close ups...but some of them have been posted on another thread....I was just wanting to post a sort of full tank shot...thanks for all the kind words.
