aw crap Jeff, thats a painful experience, clams are the hardest thing to lose there is so little that can be done for them, try again?

goldenmean · 05-02-2008, 01:07 AM

Definitely going to try clams again.
Im still must finish reading the James Fatheree book and then read parts of it again.

I am also going to set up a Phos Reactor so that I can actively run carbon as suggested by Clams Direct rather than just passively running it in a bag in the sump.

sasquatch · 05-02-2008, 09:35 AM

I started tumbling carbon a long time ago, if you can figure an easily replaced prefilter on it all the better, if I pull a 5 gallon pail of tank water and 5 gallons of tap water, youd rather drink the tank water lol

Sorry for your loss, Jeff! I have to get that book.. gonna order it today. For your phosban reactor I'd suggest the Two Little Fishies brand. It can be placed many different ways; hang on, in line, in sump. I got them for less than $30 from Salty Supply (a sponsor). I bought two in case I had to run phosban and charcoal at the same time sometime in the future. They were on sale, so I thought 'why not'?

Sorry to hear about your clam. Keep reading James Fatheree's book, it'll inspire you you keep trying.

Craig Manoukian · 05-02-2008, 11:10 AM

Bummer Jeff, kudos for doing more research!

lcstorc · 05-04-2008, 09:56 AM

Sorry you lost clammy.
I think I got lucky with my first two since I put them on the rockwork and they attached very quickly. Now that I know better I let my third one attach first and it worked great.
