Here are some new pics of some of my corals...mostly Zoanthids.
I also included a new FTS... I'm not really satisfied with the arrangement (when are we ever), but it will do for now.
Here is a pic of a new frag I picked up at my LFS...
This is a pic of some of my zoas...those pinks are from Eddie's tank. They are doing great.
This is sort of the Zoa region of my tank...
Here are the babies...
And here is the new baby...
He is a ~1.5" baby T. Maxima clam. He wasn't exactly an "impulse buy" (I've been looking into clams for a long time, heck, that is why I installed a MH fixture), but I couldt pass him up. As always, pictures don't do colors any justice. He hasn't completely opened yet, but he is extremely responsive to stimuli and is free from PM's and is already attaching to some rubble that I placed just below the sand for him. He is doing great so far.
Overall, my tank is doing wonderfully. My nitrites are <5, nitrates are 0, ammonia 0, pH is 8.0, temp is always between 79.0 and 8, KH is at 200-250 ppm. I havent tested my Ca, but I will be getting a test kit soon because of the clam.
I want to keep these numbers stable, so instead of feeding the clam in the tank, I will be bowl-feeding him with phytoplex and cyclopeeze, as well as other filterfeeder foods.
Thanks for reading,
