Well.......
Clams are one of my favorite things in the tank.
Yesterday I got another one

A baby green crocea.

This is my "old" golden squamosa, getting bigger.
i got it with 2~3".......and it's now with 4".
The growth wasn't a blast in the tank last year, but hoppefully it will change now....

Here we have a saying that goes roughly:
Where one fits, two fits.

This isn't my best video by far.............the tank isn't in a perfect shape and I spent so much time without making news vídeos that I simply forgot the best configuration of the camera.

I'll try to do some new vídeos with others adjusts.

Your tank recovery seems to be going well Alex! Keep up the good work! Have always admired your tank, simply beautiful!

After got the 2 croceas I got 2 new derasas, with the more 'standard pattern":
I was in doubt about wich one to get.....so I got them both

One of my goals in this setup was too keep only one tang: the Clown tang.
I assumed that this will lead to no aggressions in the tank. I was wrong.
The fish went from dansel tiny to barracuda huge......and turned mad.
He tried to "catch and kill" every fish in the tank. From wrasses to pseudochromis.
So......he had to left.

After that disapointment I got a medium Naso Blonde....and, just after that, a friend gave me a biiiiiiggggg female lituratus one.
The both lived well for a long time but without no warning, the female died.
This, along with some others issues, lead me to lost the will to deal with the tank.
Frustration is a bi£¢#.....:mad:

In the second quarter of this year, I restarted to deal with the tank.
I got 2 more tangs, the maculiceps and the PB, and just after that, I got another acanthuridae.....;Happy;Happy;Happy
Now, tha gang is setted....
