Sept 10, 2012- After tank went nuts... after I gutted it and added saltwater from active tank and more water changes, removed all coral. Got it all back under controll.. MMMNNNN... lets see what is in it now, what lived and what survived. The only thing since the tank went nuts that seems to not be back to itself is my frogspawn still hasnt opened. But what lived and survived seems to be doing well. I also got another clam the other day and a Bubble Coral and LT Plate Coral, which my dag on Clown adores and is actually very very gentle in it but this is why I need me a big fluffy Leather Toadstool . So I Just wanted to share with everyone how its looking and whats going on today.
Guess taking out all that gorgeous faux coral has me now having to do the real..lol
I miss my tank with the faux...boo hoo..but oh I will just have to learn to appreciate the finer( real) things in life. Wink wink
Let's see what do I have real in my tank now as of Sept 10,2012
Frogspawn, torch coral, bubble coral, lobo, mushroom, LT plate, hammer, clown,cardinal,chromi,starry blenny, pisto shrimp, crocea clam, deresa clam
What's fake now in tank- nadah...nothing...anyone want my gorgeous artfificial coral?
Wants-2 korillas, led light strip, duncan coral, a frogspawn that opens, big fluffy toadstool,zoas,pulsing Xenia, and a leopard wrase, and oh yeah one more clam- clam man comes tommorrow with my blue maxima..whoot whoot and saving for my future

I have the t5 high out put for now. I have a couple of friends who have just clam tanks and they use t5 too .. But it could be they are gifted. My crocea is right up under the light. Deresa bottom of the tank. The new little peanut size maxima was placed up at the tippy top and sure enough did the nose dive. I had to rip my tank apart trying to find this itty bitty tiny thing. I places him on a rock in the sand. Too afraid to place him up their again. He would fall again he can into some coral that would eat him. Me is so dag on tiny. My snails are bigger then him. But I will see how it goes. I asked about adding some kind of led strips to the t5. But didn't want to spend a fortune on it at this time. Just one strip. I had a post going about this marine innovative light strip but everyone said it was only 1 watt and won't do anything.
I have the light system aqua life t5 high output with timer and moonlight LEDs. 4 tubes) I don't know what wattage it is or any of that stuff. Would you happen to be able to figure it out for me?? I could order a slim 2 tube one to butt up against each other and then it would be 6 tubes ..should I do that????
Blessings

Happy One year anniversary. Many changes...worst was my not so brilliant idea of adding faux corals. Within a week my tank crashed.
For about 8 months I had just fish and live rock and a clam
Then added the faux coral and an anenome
Then tank crashed- I do believe all the coral leached out something..okay not all the coral. But some from specific vendors.
Then did an entire clean up and lost many fish, the anenome, and removed some live rock, added all new water and began adding real coral and new fish.
Then we have more changes over the past couple of months. Some coral just didn't do well in a few weeks, bubble coral and plate coral. Clown fish drove them nuts....they the corals didn't survive. Also the gorgeous leopard did a nose dive the second day and was found dead.
So changed things up some and here how it progressed
I love her
Iam looking forward to seeing how my leather toadstools grow because my torch takes over the tank...ayayayay
What I have learned in this past year, not to get to attached to anyone thing in your tank anything can go at any minute. My baby clam just didn't make it. How come it's always the most expensive???? That goes the fastest..
