JD52's Clam TANK

[jim norris]

Today I had a chance to visit JD52. I took several pictures and these are the best! His tank is just AWESOME! I would like him to tell about his system. So without any further interruptions here are some shots!
Jim
P.S. The clams are first!

lmao, What did I tell ya Jim, I knew Id get a flame job about that! Shal, wether it is or isnt, which it probably most likely is, It realy doesnt matter to me because its very healthy and doing well, when the dye is gone, Ill have a very nice speciman, I didnt buy it because it was yellow, I bought it because its a Pagoda... and for twenty bucks, what the hell! Any other comments?
