believe me I'm tempted to... I made a small fish trap but he tries to peck at the sides to get the brine shrimp I should probably make a trap with a clam in it, hell go for it forsure!

I bought a crocea clam two days ago and I was extremely happy with it, for the first day everything went fine and i placed the clam very close to the surface. It opened up really nicely but then the bicolor blenny I have started to nip at it. I knew this mite of happned when I bought the clam...

I have a nanocube deluxe edition and I was wondering if i could build a sump. I was thinking of drilling teeth in the back of the nanocube for an overflow into a 10 gallon tank I have. I think this would be easier and much less risky then running a HOB overlfow with siphon. I will be putting...
