I am just confused as to what the by product of the "feeding on ammonia and nitrates" by the clam would be

Just an observation. When I walked into the room that Lola’s tank is in she was at the far corner of the tank away from her burrow. My good looks must have frightened her because in a flash she was across the tank and into her burrow. I know how fast the damsel can swim but there is no doubt...

how is it coming along

Well in my opinion if they can remove ammonia from the water then that would reduce the overall live rock needed to handle filtration. FYI the only actual need for live rock when it comes to filtration is if you are looking to reduces you nitrates through anaerobic bacteria even ammonia...

look into snails that will forage in your sand bead

Tangs have a thin slime coat, I don't believe you can build up an immunity to a parasite, I think the genetics of a fish determine if it has scales or not and the thickness of its slime coat. But then again i guess over years a species can develop a thicker slime coat as a way of protection...

Well bend me over, paint me green and ride me like a John Deere! Exactly my intention FYI it did take an extreme amount of tongue biting

cured live-rock- do i add now or after tank has cycled? without gong into a long drawn out post. if the live rock you will add has bio filtration bacteria colonized on it in numbers that can handle your initial bio-load you may not see a spike in ammonia or nitrites and you may not see an...
