    My tank has now been up and running since the end of Oct 05'. Water parameters have been good and stable. I've been maintaining about 460 ppm of CA, 12 dKH Alk, and Mag. at about 1380 ppm , PH runs between 8.1 and 8.3. Here's a few pics of my tank. I have a mix of LPS, SPS and Softies. I've been buying mostly frags add sticking them in with either Aquamend or Plummers Epoxy. If I don't the snails will knock them off...

    Frags look to be doing quite well indeed...same for the clam in the front (maxima??) how long have you had that now?

    Thanks... dakar the clam I believe is a crocea. I've had it for a couple of weeks now.The clam sits in half a clam shell from my old tank I had 11 years ago. I had that Maxima for a couple of years. If I remember I think it died shortly after my Sea Apple got sucked into a powerhead and released it's poison, a hard lesson to learn. For some reason when it died I kept the shell.

    Ah, lots easier to see that way I'm with Repto and Graphix, that crackled pattern is really cool.

    Wow your tank looks amazing! I wish I had strong enough light for a clam. I have to save up for the lighting. Looks great!
