    My 1st Clam - Derasa...helping me mourn my late fire shrimp.

    I would think the epoxy would hold the shell in one position and not allow the clam to open and close freely. OH yeah, btw nice clam.

    Plumbing Assistance

    I agree with redfish bluefish's suggestions. Especially the part with the tee on the pump discharge. I would like to add a suggestion. IMHO it is best to have a flexible connection as soon as you can when you come out of your bulkhead fitting. The longer the rigid pipe is coming out of the tank...

    Where to get Gate valves?

    You can use thread x slip adaptors and you should be able to use the threaded valves unless you don't have the space for the extra fittings.

    Need help with sps

    You said you threw in a bag of gfo. You should run gfo in a reactor for best results. Do you or did you ever calibrate your refractometer? You can do it by either using a calibration solution or just use ro di water and set the refractometer to zero.

    SKimmer Help needed. Urgent.

    +1 on the skimmer stopping when you put your hands in the tank. I don't have a skimmer like that but I have a downdraft and the same thing happens as far as the skimmate dropping. The skimmer should also stop skimming for a while after adding oily foods like mysis. After a while it should pick...

    Is there any way this can work? (clown/stocking Q)

    IMHO the addition of a large number of clowns is not an option. Tang policeEventually they will kill each other off while they fight for dominance amongst themselves. I believe using that approach will have a very bad outcome. Hawkeye, I realize you were just trying to solve an unsolvable...
