Transplanting a Gigas Clam

[ritter6788]

Amazing. What's the calcium/alk demand for a beast that size?

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Each Sunday I add 3 cups of BRS CaCl and 3 cups of baking soda diluted into 2-2.5 gallon glass containers and dosed with Innovative Aquatics medical dosing pumps though out the week.

What a beautiful clam. Where did you get it? It must be an old clam based on its size.

Thank you!
I got it Feb. 2008 from a fellow hobbyist. I would estimate its total age around 13 yrs.

I wonder if it will get larger. After all giant clams can live for 100 years.

I really hope so! However recently with this move I have seen any new growth. I am more than a little concerned.
