<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Any idea what happened to the clam? Are smaller clams harder to keep?

pics of my 135
 

smaller clams are harder to keep because they have different feeding needs...at that small a size they arent very dependent on photosynthesis.

heres my sump

Shao, why not put this sump photo into the March Sump Photo contest? You have a good chance of winning. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Too bad about that small clam. It had excellent colors.

Could you tell me what the refugium has in it? I see Xenia, and don't know what else. My refugium has Caulerpa, and some Halimeda. Is the Xenia better??

Do you have 2 different kinds of xenia?

pics of my 135
 

yup, i have 2 kinds of xenia. and a couple polyps of fiji pom pom (thanks marc ;) )

i dont know if xenia is a better nutrient export than algae, but i just have it in the refugium cuz xenias are one of my favorite corals, but i dont want that much of it in my display tank.

as for the sump, i have a 90 breeder that is split into 3 sections: the feed from the overflow and skimmer, the refugium, and the floatvalve and return pumps.

i use a turboflotor 1000 for the skimmer.

and a mag12 and 2 eheim pumps for the return. but i think i will replace the mag 12 with a mag24 and use the mag12 for a closed loop. i want alot more flow in the tank :D
