1350 mi. drive for a clam !!!

Mtnbikedan01 · Mar 24, 2014

That's right a friend and myself drove over 1350 miles to buy a squamosa clam. Sound crazy ? That's what everyone said until they saw it. We drove from Ft.lauderdale Fl. to Pure Reef in Alpharetta Ga. and back in 24hrs. If you live in the U.S. and enjoy any type of fish Pure Reef in Alpharetta Ga. is worth the drive !! They have the cleanest and nicest store I've ever been to. Super friendly staff amazing livestock and great prices. My new clam is over 12" !! Huge an healthy it's by far the best purchase I've ever made for my system. To keep it alive we had a power inverter running a heater and filter the whole time.

I've been clam crazy for years and have only seen them this large in public aquariums so it was well worth the drive

I thank you sir ! I'm just glad it wasn't any further. Soon I will be looking for another monster clam, I hope I don't have to go too far. But then again I've never been to California.
