I've had this 105 set up for about 2 1/2 months now. I thought I would post some pictures.
Inhabitants: 1 yellow tang, 2 bowtie damsels, 1 blue green chorims, (didnt have good luck with the school idea) 1 bicolor angel fish, a brown serpant starfish, 2 reb blood fire shrimp, 27 hermit crabs, 8 turbo snails, and a gaint snail/alien thing that I dont what it its, blue crocea clam, torit coral, leather coral, red mushrooms, purple and red gorgians, green brain coral, frogspwan, large rock of brown and green zoas, montipora cap, chirstmas tree worm rock, and a small candy cane coral. I'm scared of SPS and really dont have the time or money to care for them(nor the lights) :lol:

Tank set up: 105 Oceanic tank, with a 29 gallon sump/ refugium, 380 watts of VHO, A Coralife 125 skimmer, return pump: Mag 9. 2 1100 Seio Power heads.

Nitrates: .5
Nitrites: 0.0
Ammonia: 0.0
PH: 8.2
Calcium: 330
Temperature: 81.2 F

I plan on getting pulsating xenia, a large leather, green star polyps, more zoas, mushrooms, ricoerideas (if they ever get cheaper) a yellow figi leather coral if I ever find one and some other things. Comments and suggestions are really appericated. Thanks for looking.

Edit: Sorry but you will have to resize the pictures down to a smaller size and repost them.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the white area in the middle and gaping of the incurrent syphon are both signs that your clam isn't getting enough light. You need to either move it up as close to the lighs as you can get it, or consider a lower light demanding species, such as a squamosa or derasa.

The rest is looking great!
 
Thanks. I was wondering what that was. I was told this was a lower light clam when I bought it. Problem is I did my rock work around the idea of a low wider rock set up. Do you target feed clams with phyto ? Or do they get what they need from the water, are they filter feeders or photosynthetic?Thanks for your help.

If you use Windows XP, you can download the free "Resizer" program from Microsoft.com's Power Tools page. Then all you do is install that Application. Right click over the image, and select Resize. It will resize the image to the size you prefer, and save it with a new filename. The original will be left intact. Then upload/share your smaller pictures.
Click to expand...
 
And here's a direct link to the Microsoft Windows XP Power Toy Image Resizing Applet:

I guess I was getting this account when you guys commented. Ill try that tomarrow so people dont have to click over to see the images. Thanks.
 
Good job..your tank is coming around nicely, just make sure you move the clam up higher. I thought you had a nem but I didn't see it anywhere in the photo's????

Cheers!
