I think you need to edit you're settings, all I get is "this video is private".

Hahaha... That was great... sitting here, with some chilled out music playing, watching the tour around the tank, and completely missed seeing the clams get dropped in. Went from a peaceful scene to pure feeding frenzy chaos in an instant! :lol:

Great video!

I can't for the life of me figure out why you might have nitrates in that tank!!!! :lol:

Great video Lance. :) Nitrates are a small price to pay for happy fish, so .. soldier on my friend, soldier on.

Tony, I've decided this tank will be a FOWLRSLSPBN (fish only with live rock, softies, LPS, Stylophoras, Pocci's and Bird's Nests.) Softies and LPS thrive in this tank while Stylo's, Pocci's and BN's are the only SPS that seem to do well. Which is actually OK with me as SPS grow pretty good in the 90g corner tank. So, I'll have one tank for the SPS and one tank for the fish. :biggrin:

PS: the nitrates are now reading 1 on Elos and 2 on Salifert. Almost there! :thumb:

What, if any prep do you do to the clam's? And would feeding them clams give them a taste and make them attack my Crocea?

Not much: Just pop them open, rinse and serve on the half shell.
I don't keep clams in this tank. I do in the 90g but have never fed those fish clam meat for that very reason.

Awesome to hear about the nitrates. Think it was the new reactor that made the difference or did you change anything else?

My pellets stopped tumbling the night before I left for vacation. (Ah Murphy, you and your silly little law, you..). I swapped out powerheads, cleaned out the sponge, nothing I would do would retumble them. So I swapped out pellets as a last resort. Still no tumbling. :( Not sure what happened that they stopped like that. I'll try poking around some more when I'm back, hopefully things will limp along in the meantime..

I just hooked up the new reactor yesterday, so that's not it. No idea why the 'trates dropped again. The Vertex reactor works so much better than the TLF for tumbling the pellets, so I'm hoping I'll be down to 0 readings soon.
