Finally decided I could not wait any longer, picked up a ~1.5 - 2 inch Maxima clam today !
It looks completely different from the top view (it's a vibrant green) versus the side view (very blue ).
Will post update pics (hopefully it'll survive, only concern: guy at LFS may have yanked it off its pebble although the foot looks undamaged).
Parameters Tested Today (Saltwater test kit and Red Sea Kh/Ca/Mg Test Kit):
pH: 8
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 0-5 ppm
Ammonia: 0.25 ppm
Alkalinity: 7.0 dKH
Calcium: 480 ppm
Magnesium: 1560 ppm
Do the calcium and magnesium levels look too high? I have never dosed any, those values come from biweekly water changes with Instant Ocean sea salt...
Thanks for looking!
