Clam juice?

[Be102]

Hi all,

I have been re-reading @Paul B ’s thread about feeding my tank clams and took the plunge today to get some. I went to my local fish market and asked about clams for a chowder. The guy recommended save the trouble and just get some fresh minced clams in water that they carry. The guy showed me the bucket and told me how it’s just water and no persevatives added. He actually even ate one in front of me to show they were good lol. Anyways I left with them and decided to try to feed my tank a little piece. My two clowns loved it and chased the piece around the tank. I even added a little of the juice to the tank and the corals seemed thrilled.

I guess my overall concern is if this was a good or bad idea.. and if I should just feed the clams and leave the juice alone.

Thanks all

It will elevate your phosphates and nitrates and probably send your skimmer into overtime.
