Top down picture of my Gigas. The Gigas is still adapting to my tank, not open fully yet I think. Too much light? It is under 400W MH, right under it. 30 inches high tank with sand bed of about 4 inches

Right now all the animals are in holding aquariums several system but the clams pictured above are in a 30X30X30 cube. I just keep them alive in there lighting and water quality are great but FTS is not anything to brag about.

All the animals are going into my 340 g aquarium that is being put together. Just start on the fish room today.

Nothing is new. The frame s coming up. Computer cable is in but electrical and plumping is not. I am not able to work on the tank yet. It will arrive in 2 weeks I hope.
 
I got this clam since 4/2013. It is just now start to put on new shell. It was not doing too well in it's last tank. Here are two picture from this AM as my Radion start to turn on. One picture of the shell edge that clearly show new shell :)
I am so happy that it is growing again.

Yes I am jealous! I would drive 700-1000 miles for a gigas! I like that blue ribbon bubble algae also! LOL
 
More growth shots. This guy was not doing well in his old tank. Once I got him, it took a while for him to start growing. He is doing well now. Here is a shot of his shell today. :)

Thanks guys.

That is about 1/4 inch over 6 weeks or so. I got my Ca reactor going full blast to keep Ca up. The tank it is going into is 36X72 so I hope it will not stick out of the water or crack the glass anytime soon. If it is close, then I donate it to Sea World or The Texas State Aquarium, or build a 4X8 tank. :)
 
1/4 inch in six weeks! That comes out to almost 1.5 inches per year.

How many calcium reactors are you going to be running?
