Hi,
I've had the attached Maxima clam for a few years now but rather strangely after changing the configuration on my MP40's its had its mouth open for a longer duration than I've previously seen during the course of the day (ie most of the day); mantle though is extended and it looks happy enough to me.
I was wondering if clams typically do this when flow patterns change? Should I be concerned and possibly change the configuration back?
After reviewing other threads I can see new shell growth, though will probably need to get a better than the ones below to show in this thread.
Thoughts/feedback would be appreciated.
Note:
- The MP40 configuration has not changed much, the mantle isn't moving at all.
- Only change made was to increase ReefCrest power by 5%
- Will be testing parameters shortly
