I keep coming back to this thread to check out that pic. It still makes me laugh ;D

Does anyone have an Orange Linkia, or any Linkia for that matter. How is it doing? Any issues with it?

Our local BJ's or other type of Bulk store, always has an abundance of boxes for the taking. Prior to the bulk stores, I used to call my local grocery store. They would tell me when they were going to stock shelves, and I would go by to get my fill of boxes that were the size I wanted.

:o All I can say is Wow!!! :o

http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/17415/product.web click on the enlarge image if you want a good idea of the look of a maxima clam. http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/17429/product.web Same for crocea.

First, glad to hear you were able to take it out. That was a great suggestion. Clam looks like a Maxima, but a clearer picture of the shell would help. Maxima has more defined ridges and the shell is less curved from side to side. Crocea would be more rounded with less defined ridging on the...

I would have thought the copper and silica would be the concern.

3 inches is supposed to be the magic number for when the nutrients are primarily derived from photosynthesis. If it was me, i guess I would wait a bit more before doing anything drastic. I just can't see a good way of getting it out without risking some serious damage to the clam. As long as...

To be honest, while I would want it out, just because it would bug me. I would be concerned of doing significant damage while trying to get it. Is the mantle fully extending, but the shell does not open all the way, or are both impaired? Is the clam large enough where most of its nutrients are...

Is it able to close fully with the coral there? If you wait above the clam after the initial close, will it open again, possibly giving you an opportunity to get the coral? While I would want to get the coral out, I am not sure you could definitively say whether it will be an issue long term.

Thanks for the input steamman and the offer Nick. The leak ended up being bigger then I originally thought, and Mike helped me out. We replaced the existing power vent with a new one, mostly because my wife did not know anyone with a tankless and we were not sure how much the final cost would...

Emerald crab worked well for a small hair algae bloom for me. Flame Hawkfish nice for personality imo

Tank is in a bit of a transitional state, but here is an updated FTS and a pic of my clown hosting with the nem.

Never heard of it ???

Hey, that's just like me ;D

Will you be attempting to raise them?

Sorry to hear about the disasters, but glad you plunged back in. I hope the guy who built your old tank at the very least gave you your money back. Keep the pics coming as you progress.

If you are using salt water to top off, then this is almost certainly your issue.  You can use a refractometer, but I believe that is not relevant to your resolution, just a more accurate measurement tool.

Didn't notice the trailing salinity as part of the top off. Although I would expect the number to be a lot higher, as already mentioned, unless frequent water changes are happening. Might need some more info from the OP on this one.

Auto Topoff?
