Looking good, didnt see any extra powerheads. Is your return pump pushing out enough flow to eliminate any extra flow needed? I hate see any dead spots arrise befor you know It. Nice job!

the mag 9.5 seems to be doing fine for now , I pointed it various directions and high center seemed to flow best i used the sand off bottom and dumped it and watched flow and a long brush like you would clean padel fans with putting it several places to watch circulation patterns and all seems well for now the long corals really move alot and they seem happy but i will have to watch over time to make sure this enough movement , i stacked rock with alot of caves and the currents seem to flow through them as well. heres a close up of the clam hes looking pretty good and happy on the bottom

here you will see that the long corals are waving with the current

schmo37 - Nice tank you've got there. How you liking the corner bows thus far? One thing I'd warn you about with these corner bows is that they seem to scratch easier than with rectangular glass tanks. I have a few scratches on my front panel from friends who weren't careful while cleaning my glass. I don't know if it's just me, but just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks Ill try and make sure everyone is careful , but you know how that goes

I am just starting to learn about the giant clams but aren't they supposed to be placed with their mantles up towards the light rather than on their sides?

Is it just acclimating and will be moved to the rockwork later? This article has some good general advice on clams. I have Knop's Giant Clam book on order now to learn more though. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i3/Clam_care/Clam_care.htm
