Large Clam Problem
Hello,
I've got an 18+" Gigas and it's constantly blasting sand all over my adjacent rock work. A year ago I had to move it so the siphon was under the center brace to prevent it from squirting water out of the tank, or worse the MH lights. Do you guys have similar problems, and what are you doing about it short of going to a BB? |

How would you keep it up-right? Easy when they are small, but once they exceed 10"+ seems like this could be a challenge.
