Feed small clams in separate bowl ?

PacB,

Sorry I must have been blind, I never noticed the use of any emoticons in your replies in this thread.... so I could never have guessed your body language.

Since it's so apparent that I have somehow stepped on your toes, I am going to back off now.

You are convinced that the methods of giving out pre-mixed diluted 'plankton water' is a good deal for reefers whereas I feel it would be a better deal/logical method to receive the frozen concentrated phyto paste in smaller quantities.

We'll let the issue end here... after all, no point jeopardizing our common interest in reefing... and as I always say... we all learn something new everyday!

PEACE?

PEACE?

>> We are not yet at war. When I don't smile, it does not mean I am frowning, though I defintely am getting pissed. I will keep my mouth shut on nutri matters from now on.

And we all know what happens when Edwin Lam gets pissed right?

We bow before your fury! Heh! PEACE lah... what you don't understand?

Need to talk to you soon about 'you know what', heh heh! and I also forgot to pass you the dough for the beckett the last time we had coffee.

hi Bawater, how abt the liquid when we defrost mysis or brine shrimps ? good idea to also put it in to serve as nutrients ?

[bawater]

hmmm never thought of it but i don't know if there's any nutrient content in that,maybe help pollute the tank water but not enough to be counted as food,well!i don't think so anyway.

I have a bad habit, i never defrost!. whole cubes just goes in- mainly wiped out by fishes,maybe bubble will catch a piece or 2.

if u have good enough lights for the clam, i guess feeding is secondary.

Also depends on what expense or lengths u want to go to provide food for it. Feeding phyto(be it frozen or live) is mainly for everything in your tank(including that clam direct & indirectly), you're wondering on target feeding the clam right,would be more trouble than worth as they are filter feeders,they take whatever food they need straight from the water & make most of what they need from the light u provide-no teeth to chew on anything so don't bother with the prawn thing.

thank you all! prob stick to indirect in-tank feeding.
