OMG THAT THINGS BIGGER THAN MY TANK!!!!! lol

Nothing other than what was feed to the fish in the tank. Primary used three 400 watt 10,000K Ushio bulbs and two 140 watt VHO Actinic 03 bulbs when I had the clam in my 270 gallon tank.

I thought so. It is just the light and the particles from water. Thank you for sharing. It is grow too fast. I just wonder what is the growing rate if it was in its natural habitat.

One more thing I forgot to mention. I was running an MTC Pro-Cal reactor to stabilize the alkalinity and calcium. That also contributed to the rapid growth.

Thanks for the comments everyone.... Willing to entertain reasonable offers!

That would be the National Zoo in DC - but, due to budget cuts........ They closed the whole invert house last year!

The clam is housed in Billy's restaurant tank.

The DC Aquarium is sadly pathetic. I found a greater diversity of marine life in most LFS. So sad (and you pay to get in).

Yea sadly no major public aquarium is going to take livestock donations, it's an all to common myth.

they already have one in the reef exhibit...

 

[nitro'sreef]

wow

 

[Mr. Microscope]

I gotta ask. How are you supplementing Ca/Alk? If you're using 2 part, how much do you go through in a day? I can't imagine how much that must be pulling out of the water.

 

[ddiver]

I'm running a calcium reactor and a kalk stirrer that seems to be doing the job...I'm not adding anything extra..
