    That would actually be a great clam tank. You can't really appreciate a clam's coloration unless you look down at them.

    yea i thought about that too! I have a sealife dive cam and as i get stocked up i should be able to share some good pics.:) i am going to look for a large clam 10" or so and i am going to have a few diff clam displays around the tank.

    That is a sweet looking tank. Makes me want to take the eggcrate out of ours but alas, were would all the frags go.

    Is it is a sunroom? Also looks like you got lots of flow but I don't see any powerheads. It is all from the returns?

    Gotta agree, I am in LOVE with that tank. Someone relatively local is/was selling a 300g in the same style(IIRC around 84x48x18) and it has taken major willpower to not buy it :lol:

    Can't wait to see this grow and mature :)

    you should get it! i didnt know i would like it this much. when i get it stocked i wont have the heart to turn it into a frag tank. so down the road ill have to get another tank to store frags. i turned my garage into a room to hold all my tanks, and i am building a bar in it so i will have a place for my poker games!!!!:)
