    How should I deal with a recent clam death?

    Feeding was occasional kent zooplex or phytoplex when I would spot feed coral I'd squirt a bit around the clam. Also BRS reef chili occasionally. Also I inspected the mantle and saw no evidence of any pests.

    How should I deal with a recent clam death?

    Thanks figured it was done. Pulled it out and ... well ... it's dead. The snails and my peppermint were PISSED that I stole their food. Gonna switch out the carbon and do a small WC if I have enough water made up. The clam was only 2.5-3". Now starts the investigation. What did I do wrong. Don't...

    How should I deal with a recent clam death?

    Pretty sure my maxima died at some point today. Seemed ok yesterday. The clam is covered in about 7 nassarius snails. Should I assume it's dead (been closed about 12+ hours) first noticed this morning. Should I pull it out (could it cause a crash?) or leave it to feed the bacteria and CUC?

    Maxima clam - dying?

    I noticed this morning my clams mantle had completely receeded and the shell was 95% closed. When I got home from work it's foot appears to have released and it was lying up on the sand bed (as if it fell over in its side). I thought if it died it would open up like those I've seen on the beach...

    What to do?

    I'm getting ready to do this and one thing I saw in my reading was to run your skimmer waste directly into a 5 gallon bucket for the water change for at least the first 5-10 gallons of the water change. (I just had to do the same thing after using some coral booster – when I read about it...

    Recommendations for collision repair

    Elmers Auto Body (I think it's in Mt. Ephraim or Oaklyn) - they are great. They'll take care of everything. I had them do my old Acura and it was a full front clip, engine mounts, air bags, etc.... look as good as new (even detailed the interior) when I got it back

    Mushroom placement

    Cool. I gave it a shot. I was afraid the rubberbanded would harm it

    Mushroom placement

    I am the lucky recipient of a loose blue mushroom. I tried (unsuccessfully) to attach it to some rubble. It keeps blowing away and I'm afraid it's going to disappear behind the rock. Any tips on attaching a small shroom? Thanks

    It'll definitely control heaters - I used it for mine. Depending on the size of the chiller it would do that too. I had my halides on the controller and I didn't want to overload the circuit (i ran 2 to my tank) so I used a Ranco to keep my chiller on the other circuit.

    Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper 2 (RK II). 8 controllable outlets with the controller head unit. Includes the temp probe, cable to connect RKII with the outlets and serial cable to connect it to a computer. I'm happy to include a pH probe but it's dry and likely won't calibrate accurately. It...

    RBTA - not in great shape - free

    Sorry - it went to a member who PM'd before I saw this reply. I have 3 now (had 4) - started with one less than a year ago. They multiply quickly so I'll be sure to keep you in mind next time - or will post here
