Beautiful tank!

Always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for making them. [emoji846]

Woot! 44 smaller fish in 300L! Lol, I need to step up my game. [emoji23]

Just kidding. We have too many now.

Lasse how did you catch your filefish?

Beautiful tank, natural looking.

Lasse · Feb 28, 2019

With filefish - I have a trick. One or two days before I would catch them I take a flash light after the light have been out for som hours. They have a funny ide that they will spend the night up in the water in some corner of the aquarium. I locate where. The night I shoul catch them - just the flashlight in their eyes and a fast use of my net. I have done it for years and at least 8 different file fish have been catch the same way. Locate its sleeping corner - net it

I got a clam today - it looks good - i put it together with some of my old ones - and now I see how much they heve grown ........

Here is the new one

And together with the others :)

And this I pick up at on LFS - looks not so well but I hope it will be good in the long run. Do not know what it is - but looks interesting

That new clam has a beautiful shade of blue! How fast do the clams grow for you?

Very nice clam! Cool coral too! What are you thinking; lobo, scoly? Either way it looks very nice!

The large one was a little bit larger than the blue one 2 years ago - the one to the right was new last summer -a little bit larger than the blue

When I saw it at the LFS - I thought a lobo but when it come in in my tank (its 4 days old in my tank) it looks like something else. We will see

10 months ago (1-7-2018) around 2.5 inch

Today - 10 months later 4.7 inch

The new one 1,6 inch

22 months ago my two clams - around 2 - 3 inch

The left one today around 7 inch

Thw right one - around 6.7 inch

I bought another one around 15 months ago - size around 3 inch - today around 6,3 inch

I´m rather pleased with the growth rate - we will se how fast the little blue on have.

I will send in both an ICP and a N-DOC test to TRION today. This video is a document how the tank looks at this moment - before testing

This was excellent @Lasse
Now I am certain my tank is too small for a clam.

Lasse · Mar 6, 2019

Yes my clams are soon too large for my tank but the evil plan is that when a rebuild public aquarium will open in 2021 - they should have some beautiful derasa clam in their main display. However - I will always have clams - they are a part of my filtration system - an important part too.

And much more beautiful to look at compared with an internal filter and need no electricity more than the light

Looking so good, I’ll be interested to see your interpretation of your N- doc results, I use triton ICP but I don’t understand enough of the benefits of the N-DOC test and what it’s actually going to potentially tell me yet to try testing

I do not know either but I will test now when things looks good - I know what I´m doing and can compare with the first time I test.

And today - I got the answer - looks good. PO4 by TRITON 0.14 - by my Hanna 0.08 ppm as PO4. There is some particles and TRITONS value is caculated from found P - so no panic :)

NO water change since 2018-01-20 - 14 months

Excuse all the likes, I caught up, I will sort you some sponge frags out, I love natural filtration! :)
