What do you keep with your clams

Thank you.

Yes, I designed my current system around her.

This was my second attempt at keeping a Gigas. My first attempt back in '03 was with a small one from a lfs, and had it for about a month before it died. Then I got my current one in '08 from another hobbyist who had a very healthy specimen. It will be in my care for 10 years this February.
 
Here is a cell phone pic of the system. The left tank is only SPS, and the right tank is LPS/softies. Both tanks feed the center tank which houses the clam and larger colonies that have out grown the side tanks.

Wow! I just love them. So beautiful. I know zip about clams. Please tell me about them.

These are red sea Maxima Clams, they need strong light and calcium dosing to live and grow in aquariums
