    No this is a good story! Tomorrow my BIG gigas is off to Seaworld. San Antonio Seaworld has accepted by donation of this AWESOME clam. He is getting even to big for my 240 gallon tank. I will be sad to see him go but I also feel wonderful about the ending.

    Back from Seaworld. Today was AWESOME! My gigas is now in a huge tank as the show piece! And did I ever get the tour of Seaworld! I will update my website with pictures and facts.
    Some facts there were very interesting:
    On their coral tanks lighting is 400 watt MH radiums.
    They make their own salt.
    They use surge systems on all their tanks including the 300,000 gallon tank!
    Here three pictures---two in my tank and one on the way.

    WOW! He sure is a monster!

    You should take some pics of him when they get him and his new home all setup. I think it would be interesting to see how they set him up.

    I don't know what happened, but all I see the the pic of the Gigas in the blue transport container, so I'm posting this pic I found on your site:



    Beautiful clam!

    Spectacular clam indeed. Now it has a proper size home and if mine ever gets to be large enough,I'll send it to an aquarium in Camden or any other that will take it Good job, Jim!
    Kind regards,

    Gene.
