    Very nice work Anthony...Thanks for sharing with us...

    Can easily picture (in mind) of similar in my living room...

    Which is, of course, first step in making anything happen..

    "Om saying".... "Current tank will always make a great sump for "next"..." ;D

    I enjoy your posts much.

    Rgds,

    Thank You. It really comes to life when you add a few fish,doesn't it. It still has a way to go and is a result of a very long addiction. ;D

    That clam looks awesome. The whole tank does, but the clam really catches my eye.

    Wow! What a beautiful fish Anthony! :eek: 8)

    I've never really thought of triggers as reef safe, doesn't he chomp on the inverts?

    Matt,He is a model citizen.Blue throat triggers will not bother clams or corals .They also do not over aggresively go for food and eat everything in its path, like most other triggers. Another tang that has been successful in reef tanks is the Niger trigger. However, I think that the above blue throat is a better choice,especially in larger tanks. :)
