ABOUT CLAMS

[ricsreef]

I hope for the clams sake you can get a stronger light for it eventually.As said by the others, keep it up as high as you can in the tank and feed it well,it should last long enough for you to get a stronger lighting system, or at least long enough to find it a better suited home.Good luck with it.At least now you know the importance of doing research before buying anything.

OK I WENT TO MY LFS AND TOOK A LOOK AT THERE LIGHTING AND THEY DONT HAVE MH'S THE CLAM THEY HAVE HAS BIN THERE FOR ONE YEAR. AND IT LOOKS GREAT! O AND I PUT THE CLAM UP ON THE ROCKS AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOSNT LIKE IT UP THERE BECAUSE IT KEEPS JUMPING OFF. IT SEEMS LIKE IT LIKES THE SAND BETTER THEN THE ROCKS.

IT SEEMS TO LIKE IT IN THE SAND. AS I SAID IT DOESNT LIKE IT UP THERE IT KEEPS ON MOVING TIL IT DROPS. YOU KNOW CLAMS THE MOVE AROUND TIL THEY FIND A SPOT THEY LIKE AND IT LIKES THE SPOT I HAD FOR IT. I TRIED BUT IF HE DOESNT LIKE IT I CANT MAKE HIM STAY THERE BECAUSE HE WILL MOVE TILL HE DROPS. AND IF IM AT WORK AND HE CANT FLIP OVER HE MAY INGER HIM SELF OR SOMTHING BAD MAY HAPPEN.

You might want to post your results again as PH, Cal (I'm assuming you mean calcium) and ALK (I'm assuming you mean alkalinity definately do NOT want to be 0.
