haha, the things you get free with LRs. Does it extend or something? Looks just like a shell, like those feather worms have.

Nice... the NC looks so much more spacious without the ReefPack, lol.

Man your equipment is is top class, at least you wont have problems with water and parasites. And the seafan is looking fantastic. Mine could not survive due to fluctuating temperatures...

Actually if I had your technology, I would try having one of those clams that gives off electricity. Seen once in a display tank, under the actinic lights...it was awesome!

Wah got such clam meh? I would like to try Maxima next... but I know some bro may flame me for that. I need to leave some place coz it's so easy to fill up a 24g NC. I do not have separate atinic lamp, so can't really enjoy a lot of the cool fluorescent colours

Its called a Electric Flame Scallop...should be smaller and way cooler than a Maxima Clam.

Iranwa should have some 2 to 3 cm ultra maximas left. Hurry if you want them, these clams are RARE~ Too bad im only using T5s.....

The Scallop is very difficult to keep. They will move around and end up at the back corner of your tank most of the time... so nothing fun and pretty about them. Very hard to manual feed them too...

Hi Jerv,

Oh no..too late...I just couldnt resist it...you can probably see why...

[juscool]

I didnt know which & where to place it :

1) Sand Preferred

2) Low light, Medium Flow

3) Prevents it from moving too much, I place it in a corner to relax and chill (and more importantly not to move anywhere else.

But the problem is that the boxer is terrorising it. Keeps checking the scallop insides for food. The scallop claps its shell to scare it off...but otherwise...

its still zapping happily away..

My new i-Zap...Zap zap phyto-plankton...zap zap boxer shrimp.

Can anybody ID this? Not sure if this is a Yuma 0r a Hairy Mushroom?

Nice electric flame.

Ah beng shop still have a few.

Gonna get it next month.

Can't decide whether to put it into my 2 ft or my NC.

what Qxnviolet say is so true.

The ultra maximas are so damn awesome.

So cute too.

The S$35/- chiller can keep tank @ 26deg ???

What is the room temp ?

(the hood left open delib?)

Great looking tank !

Hi Jervis,

Thanks! Got mine from AM. Its the only one that was constantly producing electric charges. I could help by grab it before I left.

I have also bought 2 more sexies, will post them later, Trying to create some team building exercises for them at the moment! Heheh

I do not have dedicated actinic lights , its a combination with the white light that came with the nano cube. So they are turned on together. Yesterday as the lights went off, the scallop, closed up and went to sleep as well.

But under the lights you can see the electric lights between its lips...totally awesome!

Hi Maxstar,

Thanks!

I think you should place it in your 2 feet if you decide to get a scallop.

My room temperature can average between 28-30 deg.

But because the nano 24 gallons is small enough to be fan cooled rather quickly.

So the range can be between 26-27.5 degrees. Its easily cooled because of the smaller size cos its only 1.5 feet. So for your 12g, it should be no problem as well to be fan chilled. I had to keep the hood up to mount the fan, cant close it after.

I use two small pieces of styrofoam to prop the hood up. It also helps with the air circulation between the lights and the water surface to reduce heat accumulation & allow warm air to escape.

Looking forward to see your nano developements! Good Luck!!
