    Clam choice advice

    Tell me about it. Auction just makes you spend way more than you had anticipated. LOL. It's very addicting. I always try to get corals locally and meet local reefers, but it is getting to the point where I just don't have as much time driving far and collecting SPS frags. I think I way...

    Clam choice advice

    I think John at Clammania would sell 10x more clams if his customer service would be better and respond to online/email inquiry. I see a lot of people interested in his clams, but never got a response and lost the sale. I'm almost in the same boat.

    Clam choice advice

    Dr. Mac at PEA said he is getting some colored tear drop Noae clams in a few days, and it's rare to have these colored tear drops. Pricing is $900-$1500. Yeah, that's a bit out of my price range, but those would be showcase clams for sure. If anyone got the $$$ and interested, I would reach...

    Wanted... Looking for someone to help clean up my wires and such

    Nice! Super clean. I'm using the same conduit raceways. Hides everything, and "easy" to dig it out if need to do maintenance. Use the rubber band trick!

    What is your Phosphate at?

    Denitrator is seeded with PNS and Biodigest, so it's growing and feeding on daily basis. The denitrator smells like PNS as Prodbio has a funky (bad) smell, so I do add it to the tank only after everyone has gone to bed. I did it during day time before and my wife was not pleased.

    acrylic buffing

    I tried sanding by hand for like 20 minutes, and barely making a different....that's when I threw in the towel. LOL. It's just too time consuming.

    Clam choice advice

    Yes, that's a really cool species from Biota. It looks a little too similar to my Derasa though. I want something that is a bit different look like a blue squamosa or different color like a gold maxima or teardrop. Too bad no one has a noae clam, that's definitely a show stopper. I need to...

    Clam choice advice

    Yeah, I saw the 30% sale at PEA. I think Clammania also has 30% sale as well. It's so tempting. I get paid tomorrow. I need to find a side gig to fund this hobby. LOL. You got photo of the blue squammie?

    Have not seen ORA clams at Ali's in awhile. Plus he likes to horde the good ones in his display.

    Clam choice advice

    I've talked with John from Clammania twice at CFM, and I always had to pry myself away from his booth because it's like a kid in a candy store. He's got nice clams. I'm not sure if he allows people to go to his facility and pick out the clams. I emailed him to see if that would be a...

    Clam choice advice

    Nice clams! I was just thinking about getting another clam for my tank too. Since I've lost a few SPS frags, I've been bummed about corals. So I already have 2 clams (Derasa and Maxima), and both are doing well...I want to get one last one that is cool looking. Where did you get your clams...

    What is your Phosphate at?

    Cool. That's my plan. I will stir the sand to give my CUC a hand. I know that my sand bed is pretty dirty because whenever I disturb it, the tank gets all murky with detritus. LOL. Yeah, I'm not planning on vacuuming my sand either. I want to get a nice sand cleaning CUC. So far, I got a...

    acrylic buffing

    At least it looks like brand new! Buffing acrylic is definitely not as easy as you see on youtube, I think they edited out the hours of work. Haha.

    What is your Phosphate at?

    After I get my phosphates under control, I'm going to start stirring my sand bed and release some of that build up so it's not such a phosphate sink. And hit it with some of the DIY coral snow. What are some of your routines to keep the sand and sump clean?

    It's quite troubling that the hobby is literally pricing itself out of reach.
