Have you played with the Mazzara at all? I have 4 of them and have yet to really dig into them.

I haven't really played with the settings too much. I just use the preset and once in awhile put it in cloudy day mode. I have had to replace 2 LED chips and that is super easy.

Looking good! With two clams, what are you doing to supplement calcium?

Thanks! Right now I am not dosing. My calcium is usually above 400, but I typically do weekly water changes.
 
The tank looks very nice, I love the clams. I think it is really neat that you are keeping a lion in your reef!
