Thanks for the clam photos, Alex. I would not get any of the fish because filefish will decimate your acans and the copper band will nip at clam mantles. Your best bet seems to be lots of peppermint shrimps.

Bulent,

My previous Cooperband lived well for years without touch any of my clams.
Clams and the CBB was in the "must have" list for this system so.....I'll give it a shot.
I know that CBB are hit or miss when we talk about nipping.
Let's see.

I'm thinking about the peppermint shrimps but I have a yellow coris that is becoming really big.
My previous one had the shrimps for dinner at some point....

For now I am giving vinegar shots in the bigger ones daily...
It's a lot of work but it keeps the populations in check, until I got a more permanent solution.

The filefish is an option, but it's an ugly option....:lol::lol::lol:
I'll keep it for the last case.
If I give it a try, I can remove the acans....temporally or permanently, I don't know.

Best regards,
Alex

Thanks Matt!


I forgot to mention that this video was made 1 year and a half after the setup of the tank.
No amaaaaaaaaazing grow rate, but it's ok.
As I said in the very begining, I must have a REEF in 2 or 3 years from the start.
At this rate, it should be true.
 
Here's my new dosing schedule.
I'll switch from Brightwell to Aquaforest in the next couple of months.
More concentrate products in smaller bottles means cheaper shipping cost wich, for who lives out of Europe/EUA, is a good thing.
Besides that, the results of AF are already proven, so I'll give it a shot.

SEG – TLF Ferrion 20ml / TLF Strontium 10ml / AF Vitality 10 drops

TER – Brightwell Koralle 30 ml / Brightwell Borochrom 15 ml

QUA – AF Fluorine 10 drops / AF Micro E 10 drops/ AF Amino 20 drops

QUI – AF Energy 20 drops/ TLF Ferrion 30 ml

SEX – Brightwell Borochrom 15 ml / TLF Strontium 10 ml

SAB – Brightwell Koralcolor 10 ml / Brightwell Lugol 5 drops / Nyos Coral Nectar 20 drops

DOM – Brightwell Koralle 30 ml

Thanks man!

I think a lot before buy new frags......about color, formation, growth rate and pattern, etc....
At the end, it's all about balance.
