Long story short, about 20 days ago, I was a low nutrient - high alk tank and have raised my tank to be a high nutrient - high alk tank.

Current Tank Specs Today
Nitrates - 25-50 ppm range (salifert)
Phosphates - 1 ppm (salifert)
Alkalinity - 12-13 dkh


Is it possible to see this kind of growth in 20 days? My other clams don't see this kind of growth.

Looks to be the smaller clam we are talking about? Smaller clams grow faster than larger but without before and after pics kind hard to tell. It has new growth for sure.

Yeah the one in the center. Well I have documentation now.

All clams will grow at different rates throughout their lives, so as long as you're seeing new growth, be happy and enjoy! Looks good, btw.

I was able to get see some growth on the one in the front, definitely isn't as much.


The top right corner in the back... really hard to see in this picture. LOL
