Crazy how fast these grow when happy. I took a pic of the clam at night when i can see the shell. its put on about 1/2" of fresh shell in 2 months so thought I would share

That’s cool. What are you doing to get to grow ?

 

[DenverSaltyFarm]

For the first month I gave the tank 2.5ml of phyto feast every day then stopped. The par he is getting is 200 from the meter. Alk at 7.5 and 420 calcium. It’s under some downforce current so I’m sure it’s filtering a ton of water

Thank u, I’ve been running the China black box arctic T247 leds. I’ve had radions and personally much happier with these at a fraction of the cost. Currently at 100% blues and 80% white green reds. At first when I had them what I thought looked good and was bright was totally wrong. I wondered why things just didn’t grow so I bought a expensive par meter and was only getting like 80 par in th tank ;Facepalm I slowly ramped up to 380 par higher in the tank and 150-200 par low and now growth has taken off all over
