There's a clam in here somewhere

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Looks good Paul B! Is there a sunken ship in that bottle? Very unique aquascaping I say!

 

[twoclowns]

are there any side effects of having a glass bottle in your tank? Such as silicate leaching? They look really cool.

 

[Terri]

I love the bottle. I would like to see more unique tank decor. how about tank pic.

 

[Paul B]

I thought we were going for clams here. If you want unique, I think I have that. There are many bottles in there. I collected about half of them and the rest I kind of "built" but thats for another post.

Twoclowns, some of those bottles have been in there from the sixtees so maybe the leaching takes place after 40 years. I think they are fine.

Ah, the natural reef, yikes! A big clam would cover that can, eh?

 

[Paul B]

It is natural. I found it diving so it's natural

And seeing as many of us have glass tanks, silicate leaching is not an issue

Like Duh, I diden't even think of that

 

[twoclowns]

I understand tanks are made of glass, but things like bottles are made of different grade glass some have higher concentrations of silica then others, thats why I asked the question about silica leaking and algae problems. When and if my 215g tank comes in, I would like to add a bottle to it, it gives it that sunken ship reef feel.

 

[Paul B]

I am sure they will not hurt anything. There are probably 10 of them in my reef.

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Clam looks good Paul!

Here are some pics of my Crocea

A photo taken yesterday that shows the growth rings well

 

[framerguy]

Here is my crocea. It's the only clam I have at the moment. Trixie (scooter dragonet) had to get in on the action too.
