DaveFason Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 A quick video of the new drop off. I think it gives you the feel of the tank. It really has me excited. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The stripes on that clam are awesome. This is a great little tank, Dave. Link to comment
Proudgeek Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The stock looks great but these drop tanks are not for me... Link to comment
Minidoll Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Have to ask...what are your Duo settings on THIS tank? Your Lagoon seemed more blue than this tank. I love how you have the rocks cascading down. What a lovely piece of art this is! Link to comment

I love how you have the rocks cascading down. What a lovely piece of art this is! Same settings. This was just just a little more white with the day setting and white balance. Link to comment
jstuver Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Love this! I have really been tempted to get one of these tanks! Link to comment

drgibby Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I dont know how you got such a good video of your tank Dave. Whenever i get close to mine my clam "clams up" and hides. Then takes him forever to come back out. Hes very skittish. Same thing happens if a fish swims over him or i put my hand over the light. Anything irritates him Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lol is that a book about tacos in your shelf there? Doesn't everyone have a tacopedia? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks! Also great to see you on here. It has been a while! very good! Do it! They are a ton of fun. I really like the height on the one side. Gives the tank a dimension that I missed. Love this! I have really been tempted to get one of these tanks! Thanks! Yes it is. I cook a TON. That book is amazing for knowledge of tacos. Tank looks great, those new tanks are awesome. Lol is that a book about tacos in your shelf there? I used my Sony on this one. As well when you block light the clam can suck in. In this video I did not block anything I dont know how you got such a good video of your tank Dave.

gena Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 OMG...awesome! Are you going to have one of these on display at Macna? Link to comment
ajmckay Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty sweet tank there... Like the drop off tanks a lot - they're just unique ya know? I've seen some FW setups using them that blow me away. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 I will not be at MACNA. Thanks for the compliments! OMG...awesome! Are you going to have one of these on display at Macna? They really are. A few other ideas I think would be amazing for the drop off tanks... Filling the deep side with all sand. Creating a true jawfish biotope or even a single garden eel Doing a gnarly NPS tank with a small ledge and mounting sun corals, dendros and other under neath. FW - All driftwood and leaves on bottom with only plants growing on top. Pretty sweet tank there... Like the drop off tanks a lot - they're just unique ya know?

mpsti05 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thought about that jawfish idea aswell! I think it'd work out great Link to comment
Icedgxe Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The tank looks great! I really like those ideas. I really like the planted tank idea. Would make for a very interesting tank. Link to comment
gena Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I will not be at MACNA. Thanks for the compliments!Bummer . I saw nanobox on the list of exhibitors and thought it was you. Can you tell me the length of the top part of the drop off? Where your clam sits? I know the whole thing is 20" across. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 It has been a crazy few weeks. I was in Vermont with the glass blower who did the Statue of Liberty flame design and numerous other projects. We are designing some really wild aquarium "things". I also took some R&R and went to Mexico with my wife. We were in Cozumel and I spent 80% of my days in the water.

uwdanno Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 groupshotdropoff by Dave Fason, on Flickr Vaca looks like it was everything it needed to be. Is that a Cyphastrea left of the Lepto? I'm sure you know already, but DAMN those things grow fast. They out compete neighbors for space insanely quickly. Link to comment
