    Yea, they had them under LEDs. I'm wondering what bulb combo would help me get their blue back, if even possible.

    I'm currently running 2 Blue+, 1 AB Special, and 1 Purple+

    How deep is your tank. You have a lot of blue already. Placement might just be an issue.

    Thank you cosmo.

    I was surprised with the size of the clam. Not bad for $27.

    Yea, AquaSD had a bunch on their recent auction. I was lucky enough to snag one. I've heard the same thing, I did a water test the night I won the clam and wrote down all my levels for comparison.

    And thank you again.

    No CA issues with my clam either. But then again I dose 2part daily. She's growing like a weed :)

    Thank you Nana.

    Little bit worried, my clam wasn't that open when I got home tonight. Hoping it's just because of acclimation and it was the near the tail end of my photo period.

    And Cosmo, about the zoas. I've had that colony of radioactive dragon eyes (I think that's what they are) since November or so, think they cost me $24. The dragon eyes cost me $20.

    The recent adds were the palys which I won for $6 and the zoas on the bottom, which were sold as Gin n' Tonics I won for $12.50.
