Re: Blurp's 450L

Great deal on the free, fully stocked 450L! I'm still waiting to see if the rest of the pictures show up. That is a monster clam - one of the largest I've seen in a tank other than a public aquarium! Is there a sump in the cabinet?

Re: Blurp's 450L

A 200L sump with my brand new ATI BM250 skimmer (good machine this one and available here..), but no cabinet yet, just a table, I've asked my father to help me build some door system to reduce noise and marine odour

Re: Blurp's 450L

Merci Jeff it's a derassa tridacna.

Frankie, the angel has spent 4 whole years with the clam and didn't touch it, hope it won't develop a taste for it now, hope it, hope it, hope...

Re: Blurp's 450L

The first pic was one of the last to come through - now I can see the 200L sump, skimmer, etc. Awesome tank!

Re: Blurp's 450L

Thanks Tammy, I had the unvaluable help from my LFS, who, for very few euros/bucks, spent the whole sunday (monday was the spanish celebration of October 12 1492, "discovery" of the New World) moving buckets, LS and tanks, really unexpensive and hard work. I also gave the pals some little frags, which otherwise I should have disposed of, and a nice meal.

I might rearrange something in time, because the tank looks overcrowded and some corals are too close to each other...but after resting a while
