My new Cube !!!

[Woodstock]

Beautiful Robert!!

Thanx guys

I'm surprised it doen't cover the entire tank. Looks like it would have.

Yes that's what I thought Gina

Did your cube come RR or did you attach an overflow box?

The Cube was RR but in retrospect I should've had the overflow externally, it just takes up too much room, but oh well.

Also, I have no idea what PM (how you lost your clams) is?

Pinched Mantle is some type of protozoan infection that has been affecting Tridacnas for the last couple of years, appears to be happening in the wholesalers holding tanks, I know Barry from Clams Direct was trying to have this problem corrected about a year ago but the problem persists I've lost 6 clams to it.

I would assume that they are working with different types of medications to try and determine what would work best to try and correct the problem?

Things are looking good! I like the nice coralline growth.

Thanx for the kind comments

I heard that Barry was trying to have them empty and bleach their holding tanks don't know if he was successful. The last time I visited my favorite LFS the aquacultered clams that I believe he gets from ORA continued to show signs of PM.

Thanx Tarasco good to hear from ya, how's your new tank going ?

Did you make your canopy?

No Rodger unfortunately I'm not talented in the woodworking dept. lol
The company that made my tank also has a dept that builds tanks/stands. I lost alot of the earlier photos but here's some of the tank/stand/canopy/canopys.

Thanks for the photos Robert....I did not think I was "woodmaking" capable either but found a simple design on some web page and did it myself. Turned out great and was easy to do...It was also fun!

Have no ideia...what's sweet ?

If I had the proper tools no doubt I would've tried myself instead of paying $900.00 for the stand/canopy.

From what I understand Barry had some of the infected Clams sent to a lab to find out the problem, which was a protozoan infection. FW dips is the only thing that has been effective but the PM will usually return so to date I'm not aware of any medication that can be used to eliminate the problem.

Thanks Snelly.

Good point Robert...My place was not the best to do such things but I made it work...Nicely made I might add...I could not make one that nice!

No the pics are of my current setup which is a little more than 2 years old, most of the LR and some of the corals are from a previous tank.
