metrokat Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 A little wabbit told me you had some updates. The world is watching Zeph. Chop chop. Link to comment
kgoldy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Baby crib, lol! I still shove my 15 year old in there when he needs it. Actually, its part of the landing at the top of the stairs across from a picture window. It's sort of a see thru tank. You have a 15 year old? *psshhhheewwww* (mind blown) Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You have a 15 year old? *psshhhheewwww* (mind blown) His daughter is older than that, right Spiro? She's the reason he has a gun in the house. Boys. Link to comment

chrssprngs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hey Zeph, thought I'd post a pic of a bunch of pothos and a couple of arrow plants hanging out of my filters. Your shot of the discus tank reminded me I actually have a fw tank albiet very neglected. I like the protective railing around it. Link to comment
patback Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I've never thought of a fresh tank with plants growing in it like that. Is there anything similar for saltwater that will reject the salt like mangroves do? Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 no butt calls today? you must be wearing no pants. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 yoo hoo My butt dialed 3 people yesterday!!! So one of my 250W halides on the 125 reef blew out today. The only thing I hate about halides is the ceramic blocks you snap the bulb into keep shattering on me as they cook- and Im sick of it. Bens LED's are sounding sweeter and sweeter. Of coure I have like a zillion extra halides hanging around so I was able to wire up 150w for now. I moved the monster Gigas clam from the 125 to the 210 last night, but not before giving it a 5 minute dip in 100% RO water. That was fun. It was entirely impossible for me to lift it out the tank all by myself, so my 77 year old father had to help me. When it was about half way above water level it did what all healthy clams do when exposed to air. They SPIT on whoever is holding it. Sorry dad. LOL. No picture yet as it is still recovering. no butt calls today? you must be wearing no pants. Actually...my phone was in my front pocket when that happened. You do the math. Link to comment

Wow that must have been some undertaking ! What do you estimate its weight was Zeph? Glad you got it done though and hope your phone did not take a "bath" too Link to comment

Glad you got it done though and hope your phone did not take a "bath" too I intended on putting the clam on a scale before the dip, but I kept hearing Wombats voice saying " when the mantle sags as it hangs in the air it can really damage the clam". So I said forget about it, BUT I can guarantee it was over 200 lbs. I can deadlift 600lbs on a bad day...and I had extreme difficulty removing it on my own, Mostly due to the awkward angle of the lift. I needed help! Link to comment

I needed help! Wow that is indeed some clam and yes I understand that getting it out of a tank is more difficult than just lifting up a few hundred pounds from the floor .. Glad all went well and as you said it is still recuperating Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think there is a hole in the 125 that is just begging for a beautiful blue carpet...... Link to comment
patback Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Big fricken clam. Zeph, I've been meaning to ask you. How big do derasas typically get in an aquarium? People vomit out all types of numbers, from 9" all the way to 24". Nobody seems to agree what te average size for a tank kept derasa can get. Would you measure at the widest part of the shell, tip to tip? Link to comment
