wamp is right...xenia are wierd and have a mind of their own...its really to early to tell since you just introduced them...is it a waving hands xenia with a long truck and long arms??? if so I know that mine likes lower current otherwise it gets blown all over and its hands wont open...if its...

Rook what type of clams do you have under 3 - 55 watt pcs??? I use DT's phyto...thats adequate food right??? I dose the tank every day at 5ml or 10ml depending on how the corals look on any givin day...

I think certain xenia like and do different things...I have a long waving hands xenia and it likes lower current otherwise it gets whipped all around...it pulses irregularly but it grows like a weed...and now occupies the better half of my 29g....its pulsing seems much slower and eligant...it...

1) "They can adapt to less lighting, but growth will be slower and color will not be as good as it could be. With additional energy derived from feeding phytoplankton even lower lighting might be possible. The same clam acclimated to higher lighting would grow faster, be healthier and have...

the calcium test kit is something that I am not worried about...I test the Kh everyother day and I use Kent Tech A & B...it is almost for sure that if the Kh is between 10-12 using the Tech A that the Calcium is between 400-450 using the Tech B... Either way I can order a calcium test kit...I...

The tank has been set up for a year...as a matter of fact it will be 1 year in April...the tests were done for 2 days while I had the squamosa clam... Amonia = 0 nitrite = 0 nitrate = 10-15ppm Kh = 12 temp = 80 salinity = 1.024-1.026 calcium = ? (no test kit) I have no idea why the squamosa...

I only had the squamosa for like 2 days before it died so i think that bang guy was right in saying that it had already been dying for a few weeks at the LFS...The LFS didn't tell me how long they had the clam... Like I said I don't think the clams death was my fault since my water quality is...

I hope that this clam will be ok...although I do not have Metal Halide lights...I do have 225watts of vho over a 29g....that works out to be like 7.75 watts per gallon...if I had a 150watt MH that would be less light than I have now...not to mention that the halide would have to be much further...

Came home from class at noon today and the squamosa was dead...his insides were gone, except for the mussle...it was in a open position and wouldn't close... I called the LFS and they said that it was really wierd that the squamosa would die in a healthy tank...I feel real bad... The LFS Gave me...

i've got a KH test kit, but not a clacium test kit because it costs like 60 bucks...I test for kh, nitrate, and amonia regularly

I just spent the last half hour looking at pics of clams on this board...they all look as though the insides stretch over the top of the shell...I think that my new clam is ill or something because it looks as though it is not as close to the top of the shell as it should be??? any advice???

I bought a squamosa clam yesterday at the LFS...I am now a little concerned about it...I have icecap 430 with 3 lights...I first placed the clam on the c.c. bed and the peppermint shrimp was bothering it and it refused to open properly...thinking it wasn't getting enough light and that the...

I kept pirhanna's for several years...I had all different types of species...then I moved for law school and started s.w. tank...about 2 yrs in freshwater and 2 in s.w.

if i were you i would definetly set up a hospital tank and treat the clown with myacin or copper...like you said there is no other way to treat him in your main tank...the only other alternative is to get him out and take him to the pet store and ask if they will treat him for you...I would get...

one of my clownfish jumped out last week...it sucked because he was part of a mated pair...and I have a cover on half of the tank...I leave it open on the back for gas exchange..

sorry about your loss...hermit crabs cannot get ick because they are inverts...i would add LR to your tank...and from now on QT your fish when they get sick...some say to QT before you get the fish even especially if your fish store doesn't treat the fish while they are at the store... LR helps...

I think your substrate is sand and c.c right??? much more sand than c.c. I don't think a jawfish can make a really sable hole with sand? I have about a 3 or 4 inch c.c. bed and it took my jawfish about a month to make a good hole that would not collapse on him...if he is moving around a lot...

I think that many kinds of perc clowns black or orange can be introduced at the same time...but to mix a clarkii with a tomato clown at the same time??? I would make sure they never saw one another...

chromis and other damsels, jawfish would be kewl, definetly a maited pair of clown fish! a pair of cleaner shrimp are neat to watch too...

I don't know about the Berlin but the remora pro is very good...i have seen it on a friends 75g and it works great...way better than the cpr I have on my 29g. If you get the remora pro try and stay away from the rio pump..get the mag pump for it...
