Looking good Paul. It was fun .

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Looks great Paul, the ladies did an awesome job of aquascaping.

chris&barb · Lost

It was fun and dinner was great also. This was the first stop in the whole project.

kyriakos · Reef-Geek

very nice rock setup. just imagine filed with corals .

luke33 · Reef-Geek

It'll look great once the rock is covered in purple!

Barbara · Geekette

YAY Paul! The worst is over! Now the real fun begins!

You have to keep us all posted with pic updates!

shmoliken · Big-Geek

for sure. put some more rock in the sump and the lg ellen chalice in the 75. gotts scrub the clams in an hour!

Barbara · Geekette

so did you add anything else to the new set-up? how are the clams doing now?

shmoliken · Big-Geek

clams are fine, BUT after the last scrub, my tiny gold maxi was found wide open and dead! damn, i may have not burped it well enough or irritated it when scrubbing. dunno. but no snails on anything, so something is positive. rip little clam, sorry.

chris&barb · Lost

Sorry to hear that Paul. Did the clam give you any clue it wasnt doing well?

Barbara · Geekette

Oh no!

sooooo sorry to hear Paul....RIP little buddy....so have you moved anything more over to the 75?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Sorry to hear that Paul, did it look fine before?

shmoliken · Big-Geek

the dead clam looked fantastic the day and night before he died. scrubbed him, found no snails, put him back, but the next morning he was wide open. i think i am at fault. can an air bubble do it that quickly? could i have harmed it when scrubbing? i dunno?

chris&barb · Lost

I dont think air could have do it that quickly.

shmoliken · Big-Geek

i am completely lost then, no predation, no snails found. rest of the clams in that tupperware container and in the others are fine.

Barbara · Geekette

that is a stumper....but glad to hear that the others are doing fine...does that mean you'll be adding them to a new set up soon?

shmoliken · Big-Geek

prolly after xmas. i wanna make sure they're snail-free and more important, i wanna get the 75 really well on to maturity

Barbara · Geekette

good plan my friend! ... if you need help with final moves you know who to call!
