Some of my clams

[Rendos]

I just took these today. I was bored because it is icy out (and got the day off from work)

Squamosa, Derasa, and Teardrop maxima...

Squamosa, derasa, big squamosa, teardrop maxima, and blue maxima.

And who said Hippopus are ugly...I personally like them a lot.

beautiful clams!!! got any full tank shots? i love that Hippopus, actually tey are my fav type HAA

Full tank shot...can't really see the clams in this picture, but...

this tank is a fairly new setup. It is a combination of 2 of my other tanks. I had a 120 and a 92 gallon corner bowfront, but combined them into this one 200 gallon tank.

beautiful tank!! what kind of light set up is that? (i know its MH but where did you get that sleek hood?)

 

[Rendos]

Thanks...it is a CoolTouch lighting MH hood. It is 6' long and houses 3 250 watt MH's.

pikey

Great looking stuff...by the way how are the LFS's in your area , Im guessing memphis? Its been a long time since I have passed through that area on I40...

 

[Rendos]

greenfroggiespawn - I don't know...they are just always like that.

Scuba Dog - LFS in this area kind of suck. I am lucky though...the closest one to me is pretty good, and a friend of mine owns it. I am actually the one who got him into salt water, and now he owns a saltwater/reef only store. And, yes, he does give me a pretty good discount. : )
