It's under about 300-350 par. I run a single 400w Radium 20k with 4-t5's. The tank is only 16" tall.I would say give it about a week before a FW dip it may just need time to acclimate. What PAR is it under?

The pic was taken right after I put the clam in my tank, so yes, the edges were definitely crinkly at the lfs. I will definitely give it a week or so before I do a FW dip on it. Thanks.Was it this crinkly around the edges at the store? If so, fresh dip within a few days. Nice clam though, hope it starts to improve.
From the shadow it looks tilted. I would aim to get it more upright so that it doesn't expend energy trying to open against gravity. I'd also give it at least two weeks before dipping in FW.Hey guys, just picked up a 7" gigas from my lfs. I took a gamble on it as I don't think it's fully expanding. Please let me know what you think of it. The mantle doesn't extend much beyond its shell.
That clam just looks stressed. It does not look like it has PMD, so don't FWD it.Hey guys, just picked up a 7" gigas from my lfs. I took a gamble on it as I don't think it's fully expanding. Please let me know what you think of it. The mantle doesn't extend much beyond its shell.
Make a box out of egg crate. Use zip ties to assemble it. What I use for my clams in my bb system.Does anyone have a gigas on the bottom of a bare bottom tank? Currently, I have it in a shallow glass dish filled with Ca reactor media, but I would like to put him on the bottom of my bare bottom tank.
Yes I sit them on top of the old io purple bucket lids.Does anyone have a gigas on the bottom of a bare bottom tank? Currently, I have it in a shallow glass dish filled with Ca reactor media, but I would like to put him on the bottom of my bare bottom tank.
I use no special food.Has anyone used the Biota Easy Booster to feed clams?
I going to dose some live food. Havent tried these. But Biota has pretty good record of growing things. Or should I stick to algaebarns live phyto?
I DMd you =)From the shadow it looks tilted. I would aim to get it more upright so that it doesn't expend energy trying to open against gravity. I'd also give it at least two weeks before dipping in FW.
Hows yours doing now? 1 of my bigger one just doesnt extend as much as the other. But other than that, both seems fineMonkie, my 7” gigas looks just like yours. I can’t figure out why sone have good mantle extension and sone barely extend out beyond the shell. Any ideas? Btw, how did you score a small gigas? I thought the ones coming out now were larger ones?
He's doing good. The mantle still doesn't extend out much though. I still don't understand why that is.Hows yours doing now? 1 of my bigger one just doesnt extend as much as the other. But other than that, both seems fine
