Wow I'm sorry guys I can't believe I just abandoned the thread!
Sadly this tank crashed on me not long after my updates stopped. There's the bottom line but here's the story:
I had my tank on autopilot and everything was going great for a while as working at the marina had me doing almost 70 hour weeks.
One evening I get home and notice the tank is super cloudy for some reason. I assumed I'd lost all my fish again. While inspecting I noticed the clam closing and opening rapidly, but not spraying water everywhere. He was SPAWNING. I immediately did a 10g water change and hit Google to learn more.
Well, clams will spawn in the aquarium basically when something swings big. When they do spawn they will do so for hours at a time. And in my little 25g that was a big problem. I couldn't find an exact number so my only option was to wait it out. (9:30 at night, no local reefer friends, and 1 hour to the nearest lfs which was obviously closed, coming off a 10 hour shift in 90 degree weather, you get the point)
Woke up the next morning to find the clam still going. Everything in the tank was white. I did a 20g water change but it was too late. I had some coral make it, and 2 other clams I had recently added (hippo, and a Maxima) that I was able to bring to a semi local reefer and shut down the tank.
I now have a 120 complete I'm my garage waiting for me to close on my new house! Haven't decided a direction yet, but will def post up a build thread.
Thank you all!
