This is my tank, we have had it up and running for 7 months.
This are not staying this way I still have yet to glue things down.
we do two water changes a week and we have just added the maxima clam a few days ago.
and I couldn’t be more in love with her 🥰

Gorgeous clam, it's huge. The clam has the markings of a Squamosa or Derasa. It would be great to see a top down image with the flow turned off.

I’ve got pictures of it from above and from when I purchased but I’ll get some without the pump shortly for you

It's a stunning clam, however it looks a lot like a Squamosa. I could definitely be wrong. Either way it is a wonderful acquisition.
 
The clam resembles a Blue Squamosa, which is a rather expensive Tridacna.
 
Love the calm! Maybe one day I will put one in my tank.
