Banjo Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nice! You should move him to the sand bed if you can. That's where Derasas should be placed. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 well, he was where the frogspawn was, but was unhappy, as you told me........and the flow is significantly higher down there.... if hes happy there cant i just leave him? Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I am not 100% sure how Derasas do on the rock work. Research it a bit. It may be fine, especially if all of your high flow is down there. Link to comment
BOMBreef Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah try moving it down it looks a little retracted. Doesn't look like pinched mantle though so you should be good. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 well, the pic wasnt at peak lighting....so maybe opened up more but im at work, wont know for sure til sunday, when im off....... i did search a bit, theres been people who have kept derasas on the rockwork but they say up until theyre about 5-6 inches cuz apparently their gland filaments arent as strong as other clam species. thing is, hes happy there cuz theres not as much flow blasting in his face....even the frogspawn looks happy but isnt nearly half as open as when he was up on top.........its the biocube itself, its so damn small lol.... he does have a solid hold, i see it sometimes at night with my spotlight, so hes not going anywhere... ill let this play out, its the best spot for him to sit evenly...

BOMBreef Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 What do you do that keeps you away for 3 days? I'm sure the clam is still acclimating and/or just pissed off about something....with time it will open up fully. Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Sounds good! Sounds like you should be fine Link to comment

REEFERBOY Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 great fts !!! makes me wanna get a cleaner shrimp again !!! im gonna make that my next purchase i think courtesy of you tron Link to comment
Thrassian Atoll Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Great tank man!! I can not believe how much you have in it already. I have to start catching up haha Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 great fts !!! makes me wanna get a cleaner shrimp again !!! im gonna make that my next purchase i think courtesy of you tron yes and no, hes cool, and fun, but pain in my ass, always rips food out of the NEMs mouth if he doesnt stay busy with his own.... Always annoys or irritates the SPS or the Clam....ALWAYS..... i dunno how long hell stay in. He is fun to watch though! Great tank man!! I can not believe how much you have in it already. I have to start catching up haha Thanks dude, the rocks i got from my LFS were already cured and good to go, so i had a really shot fast cycle...the clowns helped speed it up, then once my params were good, through a few in as you knew for the hell of it (cheap softies) and i knew it was all good! but once the SOL arrived, it was game on... Alot of the SPS came from trade ins from softies i had, like the huge Open brain i traded for 2 frags, the huge 8-10 polyp ricordea cluster, i got 2 frags + discount on 3rd....so thats what really filled it up lol Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 great fts !!! makes me wanna get a cleaner shrimp again !!! im gonna make that my next purchase i think courtesy of you tron Reeferboy, I wouldn't recommend getting a cleaner shrimp.....just like mine I had before, it would try to kill/eat my fish rather than clean it!!!! It gets aggressive too, even when you feed it alot, it still gets aggressive, good thing I got rid of it, mine wasn't even big... Link to comment

nanoreef11 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Amazing looking BC14. Love the light setup and am looking forward to see this tank evolve into a masterpiece. Wish my almost 3 year old tank was this nice but I am working slowly. Funds and time limit how much I can put into my BC14. Jon Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 So for sure the clam is wayyyyy happier up on the rockwork awway from hardcore flow... the hole the cleaner picked at him has sealed too (u can see the distorted color in the middle) And just to tease yall cuz you know you love it!

Banjo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah, that clam looks fifty million times better. I love my cleaner. I could never get rid of him!!! Link to comment

nanoreef11 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yea I wish I had LED's over my tank but don't think I can afford that right now. Looking to upgrade the tank next year when I graduate and I gotta start researching now. Jon Link to comment
