Electric Scallop Question

[jumpfrog]

Have any of you successfully kept scallops? My successful I mean more than a couple of months. I thought I read that they need alot of phyto in the water and that in the home aquarium you just can't get enough in there for long term health.
Any experiences would be appreciated.

I have the red flame scallop for close to 10 months and has steadily grown larger. I feed heavily and dose phytoplex and cycopleeze.

pyro, thanks what is cycopleeze and when you say dose heavy, what do you mean?
TIA

do a search on cycopleeze, it is kinda like golden pearls (sort of) it is a meaty organism, it comes frozen and is red. The package is the size of a popsicle and a little goes a long way. Everything goes crazy over it and corals eat it up, especially zoos and sun polyps. By dosing, meaning adding liquids.
