Pic is about 5 months old. Sailfin has been removed after it went clam crazy.

Month later, clam dies. Awful for our reef here.

 

wow very nice!

 

My Mandarin I have had for about a month:

 

even nicer; how's it doing?

 

Today's purchase:

UPDATE:

New Maxima Clam, about 8", been in the tank maybe 20 minutes. Forgive my weak photo skills.

Great looking tank! Im impressed. Your corals look happy and healthy, I love your open brain... Is it an Aussie? I'll admit though that i'm not a fan of your stocking. The Hippo and Sailfin tangs will each grow to exceed one foot. Making a minimum tank size about 125 gallons. Even at a small size, those fish should have at least six feet to swim in a straight line. Not to sound rude... Aside from that, everything looks amazing.

 

Tank looks great.

Steve the Blues and sailfins rarely get over 8 inches in captivity. His tank will suffice unless he gets a rare one that grows huge in captivity. He also stated that the sailfin is out of the tank.

 

Thanks! Mandarin is doing great! I keep a healthy stock of pods in there for him.

Thanks so much. The hippo is purposely small and the Sailfin is removed, he killed my XL Squamosa.

 

Oh... thanks for the advice; I mist have missed that part. :-X
