Bruddah, cheer me up and show me some more pics of your tank. very nice from what i see. how can i give up after seeing a tank like yours. real nice.

I knew south bay barf would come through. hey sam quit teasing w/your pics and rather show full tank shots. im sure we'll have our jaws dropping after seeing the pics.

smokireefer,
sorry to hear about your tank. dont give up though...
i don't have alot of pics but will have lots more in a couple weeks. im going to build a website for da tank...

ted,
these pics were taken about 3 months ago. i fragged a whole bunch of sps (including those caps) cuz they were just getting too darn big. but hey, dennis has my orange on in his tank. maybe you SF guys will come on down to south bay to check it out dennis's tank?

howzit alex!

I would be interested in finding out also where I could get a Gigas. I also wonder what the cost would be for one.

Those are two nice clams!

If you find one, it should not cost too much. When I got mine, (12/26/98) he was less than 2 inches and cost 40 dollars. He is now about 16 inches.
