Do you actually know people that dont treat before they add things? Like they dont use seachem reef dip or something along those lines?

I'm gonna make this simplar. A. Dont cut anything. B. Depending on the species of clam, wherever you stick it - NEVER MOVE IT AGAIN!!!!! Unless it is on or in a piece of rock then you can move that. C. If the thing was REALLY lightly attached and isnt showing signs of stress, you should figure...

Uh huh. One thing I dont get and really dont care about - but here it is. People keep talking about how much knowledge OPHIURA has. Then they go and talk about their own method. UHHHHHHHH <drool> '"Mr.Smith" is so great. He's made millions of dollars doing (insert something simple here). I think...

Hopefully the water flow on it is not high. I am not reponsible for advice, LOL. Try turning it toward the front of your tank and aiming the incurrent syphone down hill. As for placement, clams could care less in my experience. There is no certain spot that you can put it where it is GUARANTEED...

Hey hi, how ya doin? What kind of water flow are you putting on it? Once again, not responsible for advice given. LOL. My one idea would be that you are not hitting it with a MASSIVE amount of current. If it is in moderate or weak water movement, it could be shedding its flesh to get rid of...

I think most people would be afraid to give advice with something like this, as am I. So I cant be held responsible for any advice given. That stuff is supposed to buffer your aquarium to between 8 and 8.3 and your alk to between 3 or 4 or something. Most of us would need more information. What...

After it has been in there about 30 minutes at double the dosage I use a turkey baster to squirt water flow into every possible crevice and also aim powerheads at them.

No, I dont. Here's a thought to ponder. If you are going above the recommended dosage of salt mix per gallon, that means you are doing what? Adding excess elements to your tank - which naturally is going to cause your tankmates to grow quicker. What happens when your livestock finds a way to...

That as to be the most outstanding thing I have ever heard. What did they have in their tank that grew that quick?

Oh I forgot, someone wanted proof or something. I think my star polyps spreading 8 inches in under 4 months, my derasa growing 2 inches in under 6 weeks, my kenya tree splitting twice and growing about 4 inches higher, my dusters going from 4 to 6 inches in 4 weeks, (xenias already spread quick)...

Yep.

If you have 47 airstones in your tank. Also, read about it. Dont take my word for it. See what the benefits are of having a higher or normal CO2 level in your tank. 1.20 in late fees and 40 books at a time can verify all that I am saying.

I have used this stuff 5 times already. Everytime to a tee. I have a water change ready, the chemical has been in my tank for about 30 minutes and the carbon is running. They just keep coming back. Persistant little buggers. Halides are supposed to create a "boom" in them I read though. Oh well.

I like the people that are going to change their whole tank parameters because of this. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

snore

yuh-huh. <yawn> it isnt even worth it.

I'm pretty sure they are zoos. LOL. Its like asking what type of straight purple fiji acropora it is. They may have color variations, but tha doesnt change what they are. Enjoy the fact that they are odd looking.
