So I have an obsession with clams, but suddenly a few are not extending as far as they use to. I do not see any pyramid snails, but I have lost 2 clams in the past 3 weeks when previously I hadnt had any issues.
Basic Tank Information:
1.026
.08 phosphates
40 nitrates (yes I know this i high)
7.8-8.1 pH
9.0 alk
455 calc
1400 mag
No swings that I have, been battling nitrates for awhile and started dosing bacteria (microbactor/waste away) on and off the past month or so. Have not noticed any things picking besides a snail sliding across them here and there. Ill give a stock list just in case some are known to pick.

1. Maxima 4-5 inches- Par: 300 - This clam has a ton of growth on the shell, been trying to kill the aiptasia that's on it and tube worms. However, I do not see any aiptasia where its retracted.
2. Maxima 4-5 inches - Par 300: Originally would extend fully, but never really opened up, now the back side seems retracted
3. Dersea 9 inches - Par 200 - Little pinch on the front left
4 Maxima/Crocea 3 inches - 200 Par - Perfectly Healthy, been like this since I had it always a shower.. hehe
5. Giga 3 inches - 200 par - Helathy
6. Crocea 2 inches - 300 par - Healthy loving life
