We made it to two years

My tank made it to two years old this last week. Still quite a young'n compared to many of the tanks around here, but it seems appropriate to celebrate it a bit.

Here it was when I first started it out on August 26th, 2023:

I've never been fond of the blue look. I had sort of a "What the heck?" moment when I looked at the pic from last year, and then remembered I had turned off the whites while I battled some cyano for a few weeks.

That trigger doesn't tear the clam up? Nice looking progress.

The trigger hasn't been a problem so far with anything that I am aware of, but I'm thinking about finding it a new home soon. It has gotten pretty large for this tank.

Something started going after the maxima clam which is why it is in isolation, but I didn't think it is was the trigger. I suspected the CBB, but I pulled it out and put it in an observation tank for a few weeks, and the clam was still upset. I put the CBB back in and put the maxima in an isolation box, and it immediately open up fully again. Perhaps it was the trigger after all...
