Blue Squamosa Clam - A Video Overview

[ReefBum]

A number of weeks ago I picked up a small Blue Squamosa clam, something I had been looking to do for years but had resisted due to their high price tag. Anway, I shot some video of it and included a brief primer on this gem of a clam.

Keith, you due for more tank pics:))) Hows tank doing?

 

[ReefBum]

Tank is doing great! I have to take some recent photos but you can get a good idea of how it is doing via my live webcam.

Keith what metal halides are you running now.
I remember your old system was under radiums / was at your old house with a tank tour trip
What is the combination you are using now.

It was 3" inches when I got it and it has grown a bit.....you can see the white on the edge of the shell. Squammies do grow fast!

That was a great tank tour.....I really enjoyed showing you guys my system!

Running the same lighting for the new tank I used on that old tank....400W Radiums driven on a HQI ballast with T5s.
