Interesting. Does it provide insight on if phytoplankton dosing is necessary?
 
Are you trying to keep clams? :)
 
That is so beautiful! Your tank is stunning too!

What clam is that? I really like that pastel coloration!
 
I am a super clam fan. I currently have one derasa but I’m planning to add many more to my collection. They might be one of my favorite things in reef keeping, I’ve always been fascinated by clams as a kid, especially when I learned that clams/oysters made pearls.

They grow fast for a clam. Just keep the tank stable. Calcium hogs.
 
They require high light and are ususally found in the crevices of rock which they bore the foot into. I haven’t kept any but did have a few maxima. More requirements not the best results.

Me too. Maxima wouldn’t survive longer than a few months while I still have my derasa.

It is not.

Maximas aren’t more difficult to keep, but they require 350+ PAR. I keep mine at 350-550, 10+ hours per day. :)
