Well, Steve L, do you have a blood hound? (When you get on a trail.) This guy really knows his way around a computer. Also, has some very beautiful tanks. Might even be able to learn a couple things from him.
Although, the tank in question is definitely staged. The not deep enough sand bed is a problem waiting to happen. The clam is definitely not in good health. I might be able to pick apart a few other things, but, I'm not going to because - well, I'm impressed.
I actually have a bunch of acro frags in an observation tank right now that are going to go into a grow out tank next. My end goal is to put encrusted corals into my planned SPS tank. Well, pretty similar.
I was going to talk about clams and a mature tank, but, instead I'll just say that there is no way to cut corners on time.
