DaveFason Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I needed a small change with the rock work and like it much better. I had a bit of a snag with a weird smell in the house one day. The night after I had a few SPS RTN but then stop ( no change ). Any who things are back on track. I also set up a Micro Smart ATO and love it. Next step is the dosers. In order to fit my custom ATO container from the old tank I had to cut the middle shelf down ~ 1.5" to allow ATO tubing to work as needed.

I made a custom BEAM that has a marble base, bent steel arm with copper parts. More on that later. beamcustomplanted by Dave Fason, on Flickr Enjoy! -Dave Link to comment
O-man21 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Dave, Awesome planted setup. Are you using the Innovative Marine stand for the Lagoon 25, or something different? I'm looking to get into a Lagoon 25 soon, but $300 is a lot for a stand. If there is a better option it would be sweet. Link to comment
Mirya Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That clam... That Beam... I'm swooning! Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lagoon looks really good Dave,that clam looks like the colors move on it the pattern and color are so intense. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wow, that clam is unbelievable! And that beam is super cool Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks guys. I am hoping to get this doser up and running to really even everything out. -Dave Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wow, Dave! That clam is HUGE! Absolutely beautiful. And that planted tank is gorgeous. What kind of substrate is that? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I like it for the purpose. I was sent this stand for free so hard for me not to like it. The looks are great. The build is not much different from an IKEA piece of furniture. Dave, Awesome planted setup. Are you using the Innovative Marine stand for the Lagoon 25, or something different?

DaveFason Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Really having fun with this tank. I pulled out the 75mm manual lens and snapped a few photos. Clam and Arrays - Loved how this turned out arrayclam by Dave Fason, on Flickr Real Icefire - I wanted to mount this but it has looked stellar on the sand bed. If you look close you can see the yellow/green coralite. icefirecoralite by Dave Fason, on Flickr Monti and saved Mummy Eye - After last years power outage I thought I lost the colony of Mummy Eye I had. The other day I look at the back of the tank and find a random eye growing! I cut and placed up front. I just need to get rid of the algae. montimummy1-1 by Dave Fason, on Flickr Enjoy! -Dave Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looks legit! Is that the clam you've had for years?? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looks legit! Is that the clam you've had for years?? Yes sir. It is now ~ 6 - 6.5" Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 That monti has the potential to be an awesome color, pinks and oranges. Dave what is this red macro growing to the right of the clam and can I buy a piece? Link to comment

Dave what is this red macro growing to the right of the clam and can I buy a piece? No idea! I bought the rock from a vendor in FL and over time has had a few natural macros growing. Let it get a hair larger and I will send you some fo free. Side note, I have not had any snails, hermits or any other cleaning crew. I almost like some algae as it looks normal to me! Link to comment

I ran most all my tanks except the goon with a minimal cuc myself just 2 turbos and some astreas. Not to bad really,just change the water and blow the sand and rocks off !Tank looks really good Dave!

vlangel Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Beautiful pics and I agree with everyone else about how spectacular that clam is. It makes me miss mine but I will just check in and enjoy yours when I need a clam fix. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Nice! What lens are you using for this macros? ^ And yes, I have clam envy. I want to pick one up once I get a doser hooked up. Link to comment

I want to pick one up once I get a doser hooked up. Canon 100 2.8. Running it on my Metabones adaptor so I can use it with my A7. Going to tweak a few items and settings as well. Pick a clam up. It will love the light! -Dave Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Those macros look really nice man,the acan looks like some kind of alien with the ability to see the tentacles. Link to comment
