Thanks for checking my tank out-

Very nice set up. That tank is packed.

Any problems with the flame angel and your clams? I'd like to add both to my tank but have heard conflicting stories on compatibility.

Damn that is a sweet looking reef. Good job

Nice tank. It is cool that it is very different than what most do with their tanks. Beautiful and somewhat unique combination of fish and corals.

I have had 2 flame angels in that tank.. The first one had to be removed because it kept nipping my clams. I like them so much I tried another and she is a model citizen. It really is luck of the draw. I bet there are more that don't than ones that do though because I have had a few over the 15+ years and really have only had trouble with one.


Hope that helps,
JIM

Thank you!!

It is hard to tell from the 2D pic but it is 3 distinct "reefs" with passageways in between. A lot of corals that look like they are towards the front are actually behind one of the reefs against the back glass.

I love to scuba dive and take photos so I have tried to copy some of the looks of reefs I have photographed in Cozumel, the keys and grand cayman.

Thanks again for checking it out!
