My new zeroedge

Just set this up still trying to learn how these work and what would do best in this tank any sugestions?

Wow, I love those tanks. I don't know much about them, but you might check with Marce at Sea in the City. They sell them there, and she had a nice looking one setup at one point.

Looks like you have plenty of light for some nice clams. Viewing clams from above in those tanks is awesome.

I was going to vote clams too! They can be finicky though so if you went with corals I'd say scolymias

 

[lostreefer]

Why would you say clams are finiky?

Clams, Zoo's, Paly's, Clove Polyps, Ric's would all look great in that tank. Check out SITC for an example of beautifully setup one on display.

Well the zero edge systems typically are on the smallish side without a lot of water volume. Sometimes its hard to keep the parameters just right with them in a smaller system. I feel they're more demanding for constant parameters than a lot of corals. While I've had a clam thats got to be almost a few years old (waterfaller1 owned it for a while and I've had it for probably at least a year) and its totally fine, I've had others not do so well - especially the younger more sensative ones. Many people recommend not getting a clam if its 2" or under. Its just a risk you take. There's also a big debate about feeding at that smaller size.

Its really up to the individual and their preferences. I plan to go clam crazy when I have bigger tanks (and room for them to grow)

Do you think its a bad idea to use a used sock from my other tank. I thought this might help seed it?

I love the tank....love the light even more! You can use the sock, water and live rock to seed that tank. Can you take any pics of the bottom, or undre the cabinet? Id love to see how those work.
