akabryanhall Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Your tank looks great. Too bad you didnt get the elegance. The Yuma looks awesome though. Please post pics of your maxima!! Link to comment
Ando Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 As for the new maxima.. It died the second day I had it I came home from work to check out my clam.. And there was nothing left to it but the shell. Not sure what caused this? Could be fire worms... But I havnt seen any in my tank. Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 That sucks man, sometimes these things just happen. Better luck with the next one! Link to comment
Ando Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yep you win some you lose some. Here are some rics and duncan together Link to comment
Ando Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Nice Pic, ric looks huge Thanks! She is a big one! Im bored tonight so I took some pics of some coral with the actinics on. Photos were taken underwater eagle eyes brain trumpet acans yuma Link to comment
Ando Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Olympus Stylus tough 8000. Its a water proof point and shoot. It takes such good macro shots. Especially when you put your hand in the tank. It takes video too. Link to comment
Ando Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 So anyone have any idea why my clam might have died? I have herd fire worms, and maybe stress? My water quality is very stable and good. The clam was at the lfs for about 3 days and then I bought it and moved it 2 or 3 times in my tank. Do you think from him moving so much he/she could have died from the stress of moving so much.

The_Yellow_Pony Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Love the shot of the trumpets!! Link to comment
Lawnman Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The eagle eyes are AWESOME looking under those lights. Nice tank. Brad Link to comment
Ando Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks for the Comments guys. lawksha it was two inches Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 2 inches maybe what was the issue. I think small clams are harder to keep, and they may need feeding (like phytoplankton) until they can survive on just light. But, it doesn't sound like starvation could happen in only 2 days.

Ando Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 so do you think stress? Can the die from fire worms? Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Possibly stress or something else. I bet the fire worms are quickly scavenging the corpse; they are often blamed for the clam's death since they're "at the crimescene". You may want to check wetwebmedia.com for some info (look for tridacnid clams). Link to comment
Ando Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have been having the worst problem with my Nova Extreme Pro. I have had it for about 5 months now and I already replaced the actinic bulb 3 times.. I have to get another one because one just burned out on me. So that is 4 bulbs! I think it's the ballast?? Anyone know? I called Current USA but no one picked up. I have also emailed them yesterday morning... Still no reply. I got my light fixture from aquabuys.com and I called them.. But now one picked up. I called 3 times too Link to comment
