The Xenia and clams are my fav part of this tank, the rest is beautiful too but that part just leaves me mesmerized looking at it.

Fantastic tank, really enjoyed looking through the TOTM writeup. One of the most unique nano's I have seen.

Congratulations! Very interesting about removing 1-2 cups of sand and replacing with same amount, was it once a month you said?

Thanks! I remove around half a cup of sand per water change and replace 1-2 cups per month with aragalive oolite.

Why? Im curious what benefit this provides ?

 

Is it to remove waste, to add bacteria, etc?

After just removing a two year old sandbed, I see where this might be something worth doing regularly. Sand is pretty disgusting, even when it's half-way decently maintained.

Yes remove waste, introduce bacteria, maintain a white fresh looking sand bed.

I find a white fresh looking oolite sandbed really makes my clam island pop.

So awesome. Well deserved, except... you should post updates more often!

[FlowerMama]

Yep, I'm wondering how I missed seeing this tank as well. Besides there being just so many members. Looks like a piece of art. Gorgeous, well thought out. Kudos!!!
