My work here is done

jk i'm not getting that full of myself just yet....i'd have to say until someone sees these bad boys in action....it's a hit and miss game. but like i said they seem perfect for a tank w/ a heavier bio-load.

What your saying would work w/ lions only you would have to get a lot of clams because the lions will try to eat them.

All I can say is Gerald truly is a great guy, I asked him to leave out the hermits (trying a hermitless tank) of the Live Sand Activator and when he replied he said that was ok and he would sub in some sandbed clams...so, i guess that I am going to try them

If anyone hasn't ordered from him, I say do it, he really is a great guy...

the clams might be ok w/ lions because it sounds like they spend alot of time under the sand so.....they'd be hidden.....or will lions dig? i dont have any experience with them but i was really just giving a "for instance" ya know.....i was just trying to get at they'd be good in a tank where they wouldnt deprive others of sustanance :P
