Dunno Matt, I could look when I get home though . The pump is on and running though, amazing water movement

Fiona, if you keep the blade level to the glass it wont scratch. But if you just touch the corner to the glass you risk scratching. Also since my tank is an exceptionally old AGA (all glass aquarium), the front, back, and bottm glass are tempered and not prone to scratching at all

Well done. I like the look of your tank.

Apparently, the Corps of Engineers went a little too far when creating their newest engineerfing feat. Upon inspection of the theatre at the end of the day, Command came to the conclusion that the new water motility device was FAR too large and decided to remove it from service. All civilians had hunkered down in their bunkers and the forces of the Navy were struggling to keep up with the current.

The blueprints the Corps pilfered from the patent office were apparently designed for 1500-2000GPH worth of water movemnt. The Corps decided to reverse engineer an even greater motive force by using a larger propeller. It appears the Corps succeeded because the water flow was far too great for the theatre. Thus, the Corps has been charged with correcting its mistake asap as renovations to the theatre must be done by NO LATER than the 12th of the month when new friendlies are set to arrive.

For 9 months now, I've wanted to have one of these, and today, my desire has become a reality. Ladies and Gentleman, my newest addition, a purple Tridacna Crocea clam!

Tomorrow, the hood and halides go on, and the green zoos go in. Giddy with excitement

Great stuff Ski, its beautiful.

Your tank and inhabitants are the inspiration for mine, its roughly the same size, and what I'd like mine to be like in a years time maybe...slowly, slowly though.
