You NEED some arches. Arches are good!!

Craig Manoukian · 02-03-2008, 11:41 PM

Stilts = arches, eh Kath?

kathywithbirds · 02-03-2008, 11:44 PM

yup, yup!! I will say though, I came to dislike my "parking garage" I had in the 37 gallon. It was four rocks supporting all the rest, creating a dead spot. It was impossible to clean and get any flow under there, and it was sand real estate I could have put corals or soemthing on. live and learn.

Craig Manoukian · 02-03-2008, 11:48 PM

I had two towers in my 85 gallon with four thin stilts supporting each. Plenty of flow and no dead spots, and a favorite sleeping spot for my tangs. Had additional rock arches in the middle of my tank. In addition, the return from my sump, 300 GPH, was plumbed to shoot along the back of the glass and keep it very clean.

No Not Yet. I hope I can get some pics today, but they will not be that impressive. My tank room is very cluttered, and full of random stuff.

Well that is better than it still being 1/2 empty. Glad it is coming together for you, finally.

rmlevasseur · 02-05-2008, 10:12 PM

Hey Mike:
Regarding clams and Majestics: I never kept tridacna or the others, but I did have a majestic for 10 years in a 110. I would periodically buy a fresh clam at the grocery store and the Majestic would tear into them like nobodys business, as did my Emperor and dwarfs.

Did you get your Solaris yet? I've heard late March now

michael_cb_125 · 02-05-2008, 10:20 PM

I DONT KNOW
I was told that I should have it the first week of jan. Then every week after that. I am really getting frustrated

michael_cb_125 · 02-05-2008, 10:26 PM

I know that the angels and the clams wil be a risk, but I am willing to take it. I really like the angels, plus I think that can figure some way to keep the angels away. Plus if I keep everyone well fed, maybe they will not resort to picking on my clams. We will see!!!
