Minh's 320 reef

[ca1ore]

It's a shame the Gigas clams aren't available anymore. Had one many years ago and it was my favorite clam. A wonderfully subtle green and yellow. Outgrew my tank though and I had to pass it on before it got too big to lift out.

 

[Mr Andersen]

I really love your big clams!!!!!!

I just got i big Deresa my self, cant understand they not are more popular in reefs??

 

[flakey]

WOW.... that's a huge clam you've got !!!

 

[OrionN]

I promise to get more picture this weekend, and move that Gigas to the back a little. I heard that Gigas will be available in a few years. Unconfirmed grapevines news is that there is a new breeder who set up shop and will breed these giants.

I think because absent we core obsessives, most people just don't have the tank space for a clam that will grow beyond a foot!

That would be cool! Though I am completely incapable of resisting the urge to buy new coral, so by the time any cultivated Gigas are big enough for sale I'll have no room for one

Sorry i meant Clams in general not the giant but maxima, deresa, squamosa and so on

Nice video. Would be good to pull out for a wider FTS at the end, but everything else looks great.

Very nice. I always enjoy seeing your videos.

 

[BattleAthletics]

Awesome video Minh!

 

[OrionN]

Thanks guys.
I have a treadmill right in front of the tank so I cannot back up very much. It is also hard to get all the tank in 1 shot because it is 6 feet long and 30 inches high.
So I back up to L half and R half of the tank.

 

[BattleAthletics]

Move the treadmill when you're taking shots Minh.

 

[worm5406]

Use the treadmill when you are taking shots.

 

[OrionN]

That treadmill is one way my wife got me to exercise. It is in the middle of our living room.

 

[OrionN]

I will try to do some slow motion picture. You tube does not have high resolution for me at least since I am cheap and just got a free account.

 

[dave.m]

Treadmill right in front of the tank so you have to exercise while viewing - Brilliant!

Plus it must keep the fish entertained, too.

Hope our wive don't meet each other anytime soon..lol...very nice setup Minh. Can not wait to see it in person next time am in Corpus.

Here are some picture from today. Right, Center and Left, and the frag tank that I just connect to the system Sunday. I took the picture today before work and the light still very actinic. Sorry for the color that not 100% accurate. It is a lot nicer with less blue.

 

[OrionN]

The frag tank is a 40 gal breeder. I will have two Radions on it, but only one now since I still have my frag system running. the other light is over there.
