    Sorry for the delay. Been so busy past month. Well V asked how was the viewing optics on tank. I would say it kind of magnify every thing from the angle viewed. But looking straight foward it looks normal. Also the clam is doing preety good so far. He gave me a run for my money. Lol the little guy would not stay still. One night he fell in the middle of the tank between a small opening. I was so pissed. At 5 am I had to move everything around just to get him out. Ughhh. So I redid tank again looks better. Placed clam all the way at the bottom of tank he likes it there sits still. Lol. With feeding I put him in a bowl and let hi eat that dts plankton then I move him back in his spot. He's stuck to a shell. So able to move it around.

    Aquascaping at 5 AM can yield some interesting results!

    I have a Mexican Turbo Snail who does an awesome job cleaning the tank, but he's gotten golf ball size and is constantly knocking things over. Last night he broke the glue holding a frogspawn up and it landed on my Elegance... AGAIN. I do believe I'll be moving him to the fuge soon. I wish I had been re-aquascaping at 5am, my Ele would be a little less burned looking right now.
