Hello, This Tridacna gigas has spawned every day for five days at 4-5 PM and lasts 2-3 hours. None of the fish or corals have reacted negatively. The tank is clear by morning and nitrogen levels test normal. In the past all my coral and clam spawn events occur in June/July. I think this is due...

Hi Matt, Thank you for hosting the meeting. It was cool to see an aggressive tank for a change. Your tank and inhabitants looked great! Thanks for the beer and delicious chili too :) Regards, Kevin

Hi Leslie, I get these as hitchhikers now and then on corals. They are always quite small about 1.5-2cm. I'm hoping that they are a small variety. Regards, Kevin

I had to move my clam to a larger tank so I thought I would post a picture of it. I bought it in Aug. '03 when it was about 8". I will post a picture of it in its new location soon. Regards, Kevin PS: It weighed in at 50 lbs.

This is my latest acquisition. I hope it continues to do well. I really like the coloration and hope it stays. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsWWjJGP4as Cheers, Kevin

Hello, Sorry for the slow response and absence. I have been shoveling snow at home and the store for 3-6 hours a day since Thursday and it continues to snow (34" so far). I shoveled 200' to the corner Thursday night so I could get to the store. I made it there at 10PM :rolleyes: . I have some 5'...

It's been 4 months or so since I moved my tank inhabitants so I thought I would post a few pictures of some of the corals. Cheers, Kevin

Hello all, I will be leaving for MACNA Thursday and returning Sunday night so I may not be available until Monday AM. Regards, Kevin

This clam started releasing eggs after two large snails released eggs and sperm into the water column. It ejected eggs about every two min. for about a half hour. Many of the smaller fish were eating the eggs. The tank looked like a snow storm was happening between the snails and the clam. It is...

Here is a picture of a frag of A. microphthalma. It is located in one of my 200 gal cubes. It is lit by a 400W halide driven by a HQI ballast and it is only 16" to the top of the sand. In the summer months the morning sun shines into the front 18" of the tank from the side window. The sun is at...
