    whats your calcium and alk level at?

    I'm not worried I have excellent strong lighting 2x250 mh hqi 4x65 actinics. Should be fine for the clams. Where is the best place to put them on rocks ? or on the sandbed? Anywhere in the tank will be sufficient lighting for those clams.

    whats your calcium and alk level at?

    I Have 2 cleaner clams burried somewhere in my 4 inch sandbed. I haven't noticed them in months. They might come out at night or they might be dead? I was considering a Derasa, and or maybe Crocea...very pretty clams, but quite pricey :(. Perhaps to add some color to the DT and eat up some...
