Hkriegal,
What type of camera are you using? Is your pc a smart lamp 50/50? Take a picture of the squamosa I would like to see it. Jim |

It's a csl prism pendant which came with 3 x 32w bulbs, 2 are 10000k and one is the fake blue actinic (I think I'm going to replace it with the true actinic pc's that they have now). The lights just turned off, so I will take a pic tomorrow. Also, last weekend I bought a small derasa for my larger tank (46g w/192w pc). My nano (as soon as the algee is gone) is going to be a clam tank (I really love clams, but can't afford the mh prices for my larger tank).

hkriegal,
Actually my clam holding tank before they go into a show tank has all pcs from CSl.---8--- 65 watt 24 inch bulbs ( 2 are blue). I kept the clams real close to the lights. They are on a plastic light grit and underneath them is lots of liverock. I kept a yellow tang in the tank and a six line(a clams best friend). If interested I will post a picture? |

Hey guys,
I would like to first say, you guys have beautiful clams! I am new to this forum and this hobby also and one of the main reasons I am in it is b/c of the cool looking clams! I have a nano tank set up so far with a 3" maxima clam in mine w/ about 7.2watts per gallon(will upgrade to 55 soon for the clam and MH). Jim, Your clam tank is awesome, one day I hope I can gain enough knowledge (and $$ hehe) to set up a clam tank of my own. You happen to have any small clams for sale? hehe , or any of you guys got any small clams for sale? My lfs down in Lousiana (sorry to say, SUCKS). I have to drive to Houston twice a month (when I'm visiting my lady, to check out the cool shops there. Sue, Your tank is very beautiful, perhaps when I'm in town, I can take a look at it?  I would like to have sps corals one day also but I need more knowlege on it. You happen to have frags for sale also? I think I'm goin down there this weekend maybe I can have a looksy? heh Well do you happen to know any good shops there? I go to Planetfish, Global fish&pets, fishland, aquarium world. You know any other nice shops near this area? Thanks.All you guys have great tanks and beautiful clams, I hope I can learn alot from you guys with your knowledgable advice and expertise in the future! |

denkigroove,
All of the marine fish store that I go to in Houston are located around Bellaire. From Highway 6/Bellaire there's T&T Fish & Reptile. Then Fish World, and Global Fish n pet on Bellaire itself. Then Fish Ranch is on Bellaire/Larkwood. |

denkigroove, Thank you. You are welcome anytime. I sent you an email too. If you are coming to town I would suggest Aquatic Designs as it is IMO, the best lfs in Houston. The healthiest fish, corals and good knowledgable help{the owner, Keith}.
They are located off I-10 and north on Beltway 8. my 180 ecosystem sps tank: http://berlinmethod.com/suet/ my 120 ecosystem sps/clam tank: http://suetruett.homestead.com/home.html www.marshreef.org/members |

denkigroove, first welcome to the board. I think you will find that a lot of people will be willing to share some good ideas with you as there is a lot of knownledge on these boards.
Get some good books as there are some great reference guides out there. If you are interested in clams, get the book, Giant Clams by Knop. Online you can get it for 36.00. I have seen it in LFS forsale for 65.00. Good luck and welcome to the great hobby of saltwater. Barry |
