GIANT CLAMS

[Troy V]

You have a 140 lbs clam in your tank

This I have to see that’s amazing

That is a guesstimate on current weight. Last time it was weighed was 2016, and it was 120lbs. I could be off a little.

Are All 3 tanks one system

I can see that monster filtering a lot of water

Thank you for asking! Unfortunately the clam died 2 years ago this month. IMO the hinge finally succumbed to its immense weight. It is now a succulent planter in my office.

In the hinge image you can see where the clam was trying to regrow again. But the constant movement prevented this from happening. I us a 14" squamosa shell to cover it because it bothers me to look at its cause of death....After all it was with me for 14+ years.
