Just looking to see if anyone has any knowledge of clams being more sensitive of elements such as zinc and copper or tin etc?
I ask because I have had consistent bad luck with clams since shortly after I began. They always look great for me, for between a month to 3or 4 months, then gape and disappear in a day. All corals have always done well until about my 2yr mark, where I lost almost all my acro in a months time. The levels I had the above mentioned elements were relatively high (by triton test) and may or may not have contributed. I've since found the source of those issues and now that is corrected, id like to try clams again soon. But for that to make any sense, clams would have to be more sensitive than coral to copper and zinc.
