Some pics of my new 150 gal marineland cube. Moved everything from my well established 90gal around 2 weeks ago. So far, so good!! ...and YES, that is a giant gigas clam shell!!! It was in my Wife's families restaurant for over 30yrs. Used for weddings to serve shrimp cocktail. Weighs over 80lbs+

The aquascape is amazing, and the clam shell adds a cool, unique touch, and has a cool story to go with it, very well done tank. What do you have (or plan to have) for finned inhabitants?

I have a large hippo tang, yellow tang, clarkii clown, Melanarus wrasse, 2 firefish, and orchid dottyback. All are doing their best to hide from my picture taking!!! I want a Lamark's angel or swallowtail angel and yellowhead sleeper goby...Not much more after that.

A big part of the reason I wanted a cube, was to accommodate the giant clam shell. I used to have a large koi pond, and had it displayed outside, by the pond. I left that hobby, and made this hobby bigger!! So, I had to choose a tank with no center brace, and room for this big, heavy thing. It is probably closer to 100lbs...really was tough to get in there and stabilize. When I took this shell, my mother in law offered me an even larger one they had. I must have been 150lbs!! It was too much trouble, and I took the smaller one. I am glad I did, the larger one probably would not have fit. I think she sold the other one to a different restaurant, when she retired. But, I was determined to make it a central point of my aquascaping.

I checked yours out....looks awesome!! Any problems with the copperband? I want one...but, worry about it picking at coral polyps.
The CBB is kind if a pain because he only eats live black worms. I have had him for 7 months and he won’t even eat love brine. I have tried to get him to eat other food in a QT but no luck. Mine doesn’t pick at any of my corals.

Wow I love how you incorporated the clam shell. It makes it look very "reefy" and natural.

I feed my copperband a Manila clam a day and he never touches the corals
