Yes, the positioning of the clam is not very ideal (IMO). I think clams look best when position slightly upright with the larger "mouth" at the bottom. When I introduced my first clam, I position the big mouth on top "terbalik" :upsidedown: luckily a bro spotted my pix.

You notice the colours are not as nice looking through our tank glass? If you want damn "power" photo shoot, off the filters and shoot from above the tank :rolleyes:

Ah, alrighty heh will do some changes later. :)

Yeah thats something i realised the images are always blurred. will try taking some pictures later with the filters switched off haha.

Gonna go do some coral shopping today. Maybe get some zoos and yumas to fill up the left side. :)

Another thing... not much coralline growing... what's your calcium lvl? Perhaps other more experienced bros can help advise on how to cultivate more coralline algae :)

Hey jervis,

Yeah been busy working thats why dont have time to update. Finally got hold of a digi cam to take some pictures. Been following your thread though :)

Erm, 1 is long 2 are short. There are actually 3 different sets of hammers there, think you can make them out right? heh

Oh i shifted my clam and i think it has already lodged itself into that position, so when i shifted it, there was this reisistance then after a few days the clam jsut wasted off.. didnt know what happened also man.. sad.. :(

Yeah I can tell the 3 colonies... somewhat similar to mine... you are not trying to recreate my tank are you?!? :lol::lol::lol:

Oh what a waste... yes that's the problem with clams that doesn't come with a small base rock... mine was also stuck on my LR for the longest time... what I did was... I moved it (sorta stretch it) for a few times (whenever my hand is inside the tank)... then the last attempt I just pulled it slightly harder... mine survived :whistle

Heh, think firstly i dont have a CR thats why its a little more difficult. Secondly i did a freshwater dip on my live rocks, that must have killed quite a bit of the coralline algae which its why its taking longer to cultivate. Also, been rather busy so never really dose.. I can see little specks of coralline on the rocks already though.. so will look more into dosing right now :)

heh, not really lah.. i sorta got the idea from the 10 feet tank at bio ocean, cause kenny was telling me about putting colonies of lps together to get the effect, especially hammers.. :)

ooh.. you lucky fella.. guess i was just unlucky lah the poor clam didnt survive, besides i got it from a reefer who had it for more than a yr.. so its sad lah. Oh well.

Hehe you don't need a CR to grow coralline... for me, I'm using a simple Kalkwasser dispenser connected to the top-up pump. But still need to add Calcium Hydroxide (powder) into the dispenser every week. Nah dun worry... I was just being picky... as long as your corals are growing fine...

Oh nice night shot :)

Yeah but its really easier with a CR.. heard reviews about how coralline grows like crazy with a CR from henry.

Yeah the idea i guess is to keep your calcium levels stable, then coralline will grow like crazy.. The problem with me is haha i dont do testings at all even though i have test kits. Too lazy lah. :P

      CONSULT A REAL HACKER TO RETRIEVE YOUR LOST FUNDS, Hire ULTIMATE HACKER JERRY

      The effectiveness of Ultimate Hacker Jerry Crypto recovery services is astounding. I had no idea that money lost to shady investment websites could be retrieved. In fact, I had assumed that I would never be able to reclaim my lost cryptocurrency from the fraudster that I had fallen for early this month. I nearly lost everything after making multiple unsuccessful attempts to obtain the money back through the authorities. When I was about to give up, I saw a lot of encouraging internet reviews for Ultimate Hacker Jerry. I chose to get in touch with Ultimate Hacker Jerry, who answered right away and expeditiously took up my case. Ultimate Hacker Jerry was able to retrieve my missing money in less than 48 hours.

      BEST WAY TO RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTO/BITCOIN<>CONTACT/ CYBERSPACE HACK PRO

      My advise to anyone who do not understand about the crypto trading is to be extremely careful on investing or rather stay away from crypto investment. I heard about a bitcoin programmed scheme that I taught was a Legitimate investment opportunity but turned out the other way round, my family and I invested as I was so blindfolded about the negative part this may turn out to be and collectively our loss was about $250,000 when it was time for us to take the profit they refused me from doing so rather they keep asking us to invest more.. that was when i realized what i got myself into I taught all money was lost until I met a life savior on a certified crypto site who had helped a lot of people recover there stolen coins, I explained my situation to him and he assured me he’ll help me get my money back, I gave it a try and he definitely did a great job, all my money was recovered back into my wallet account in few days, I don’t really know how he got this done but this is really awesome! I’m writing this to informed anyone who had similar issue to contact this expert via Email: Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com WhatsApp +1 (659) 217 - 9239 I must say that i’m happy right now, cause I luckily escape this trolls online looking for who to render broke Financially.
