I keep track of amonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph and high end alkalinity every other day while things settle in. More often if things look like they warrant it.
I do not know how much live rock in terms of pounds, but I have built three piles with an open flat part in the middle for the anemones. I have created bridge work for the two piles on the left (need pictures). I also have a good size piece in the sump.
Is the clam really that agressive an add? He has been there a month and is (dare I say it) as happy as a clam. |
I am glad you have a LFS that you can trust. Not many people do. But clams take anywhere from between 6-14 months to starve. For clams, even 3 months is nothing, considering they can live to over 250 years old. Your tank is just too young for the anemones and clam. When you hit 8-12 months, you can probably get them again.
