What in the world is a "Bent Front Clam Tank?"

Here's a few of ours. I'll start off with older pictures, back when they were in our 75.

One of the same T. croceas, in our 200.

A so-so pic of a T. maxima, in our 200.

T. derasa, in our 200.

T. maxima, in Angie's Nano, which is very hard to photograph because of the curved glass.

Here's a couple great pics, of Angie T. maxima, that she took with her Sony P&S.

What in the world is a "Bent Front Clam Tank?"

A real clam display tank is rectangle with the front tilted in at about a 30 to 45 degree angle. This gives a perfect veiwing angle along with no water ripples. Like looking through a photo box. Make sense? Clams direct used to carry them.

Yes, it absolutely makes sense!! I would actually love to have something like that, in about a 24"X24" footprint, 12"-18" deep!!

Awesome clams Sid! Thank you so much for contributing! That Maxima is just wonderful.

Yeah Don, those are some great tanks for topdown viewing.
Here is one just for you. I know how much you like big clams

I've only got the one but she's a beauty! Bought at just 3" and has been in my tank for just over a year. Putting on a full 1 1/2" of new growth. Kept under 4x24w T5HO mid level 9" from the lights.
