metrokat Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Post a picture of the light/shade the clam is in. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Move it to where it gets the most light, the sandbed is fine for all species. The thing about clams is they look better for a while when light is inadequate, because it forces them to open up more. However they will decline slowly, and by the time they show it , well, its just too late to bring them back. Nice tank btw. Link to comment
SDartifex Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks for the help guys, I'm gonna take Zeph's advice and get it out in the open. I'll get a before and after too while I'm at it. Link to comment
SDartifex Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 So the SPS box has been achived, and I moved the Crocea out into the open. She immediately opened up huge, thanks again everyone and especially Zeph! I gave the display a good cleaning and will snap some shots once the dust settles. Link to comment

SDartifex Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Very nice macro. Sps box Mmmhmmm.Thanks, I wish I had a real macro lense to cut out a the nasty chromatic aberration you can see from the 18-55 kit.. Maybe once I get a chiller I can put some away for a legit lense, but knowing me there'll prolly something else I "need" for the tank lol Haha thats creepy, but I'll take it as a compliment Link to comment

SDartifex Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Bitta bing botta boom! Wow, that tank! Beautiful! TOTM for sure!!! haha thanks, It would be an honor to be featured by NR but I still think it's got a long way to go before its ready. Those twins you got on the other hand have been getting a lot of good press lately, and for good reason!Wow the tank looks beautiful sdart awesome job.Its going to look killer in another 8 months. Just a suggestion for the diatoms... florida cerith snails.Thanks for checking in Hype! I just added the sand a week ago so I'm thinking the bloom is from sillicates and other impuritys, but if things persist I will definitly grab some more ceriths since the few that I have already are always leaving trails in the sand. I was considering a fighting conch as well since I've always found them fascinating, but I don't know if there would be enough food for one in the long run.. I love the FTS! That's just beautiful. Close ups too.Thanks Kat! There's nothin to it once you have some good gear to shoot with Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Dyde yoyr tank is like a mini version of this big tank I saw once. Very impressive rock scape sdart Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Finally remembered/found the big tank that your scape makes me think off http://spsholic.com/entry/MRkangTank I hope your planning on sps haba because it will look awesome Link to comment
SDartifex Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Woah, That tank is killer! I did plan to be sps dominated, but things have changed and it looks like this will be an sps only display. I just hope it turns out to be 1/10th of the epic tank MrKang's is. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Good it should be sps only anyway lol your scape demands and deserves sps especially since you unintentionally made a mini reverse of his scape. I have faith. Do well padawon Woah, That tank is killer! I did plan to be sps dominated, but things have changed and it looks like this will be an sps only display. I just hope it turns out to be 1/10th of the epic tank MrKang's is. Link to comment

SDartifex Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 More sps frags? This sps box is turning slick. I'm mostly just waiting for things to encrust right now, so I have a good feeling of where I can fit more pieces. But I'm keeping an eye out for any epic frags that float through the LFS. They have a few colony's of dendronephthya that I'm waiting for them to frag for my refugium Wow. Pics look great! Thanks! Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good thing you said refugium. Because this is a sps box after all. Link to comment
