it will not give out diease rite?

i think the maxi i bought is not clamed on a piece of rock then ganna the clam diease i guess

heard bro roidan said before

[lightningstrike]

pls for goodness sake remove the dead clam immediately!!! will it give out disease or not..... that i dunno..... but it will certainly rot in ur tank and post high nitrates and phosphate in time......

u also dun get dreaded clam disease juz bcoz ur clam was not attached to a pcs of LR.

keep a close watch on the rest of ur LS these few days.......

dun want another reefer to end up like me and bro scarab..... where our tank sucumbbed to the dreaded clam disease....... we lost abt 30 to 40 clams combined!!!!

juz me 2 cents.

[Anthony]

last week i lost 2 of my croceas too.

[roidan]

cant help as i dunno your system ..or spend day and night with your system..

can be many reasons....

maybe it was damaged during harvesting and it was dying a slow death...

in that case it's not your tank's problem...

can be predators in the tank...can be parameters....can be it doesn't like the position so much so that it slowly refuse to open the mantle and die...many many reasons...dunno where to start..and dunno which is the real reason

i cannot pinpoint any reasons no matter how much or how little i know about clams..hehe

[19percula]

yes sir

roger will take it out now

as for my other LS all okie leh

btw my mati jaz over a night possible?

[scarab]

yes sir

roger will take it out now

as for my other LS all okie leh

btw my mati jaz over a night possible?

Possible!!! Mati overnight happened to at least 7 of my clams. Beware

[lightningstrike]

dun join bro scarab's and my clam graveyard.....

[19percula]

i think must be alarm system in my tank liao lol

thanks for all the advice

[terryansimon]

damns. I lost two within a space of three days. *mutters*

looks like I'm gonna loose one more. shit. if I lose all, no more clams for me!

[roidan]

i wonder why some bros here are reporting sudden clam deaths that seem to coincide with the hot spell recently...

maybe the temp fluctuations even with a chiller was too much for some of the fussier clams?

just a thought...

[FuEl]

Hmm..don't think temperature is a factor...my maxima not affected so far...nowadays everyday temperature around 28-29 in my tank..

[roidan]

yeah lor...maybe coincidental that the hot spell happened recently

watever the case, good luck for the clam lovers in here

[damsel-in-distress]

Yeah,

I had a total of 8 (4 baby maxis & 4 large croceas) die within a span of 6 mths. My water parameters are excellent so .. someone mentioned maybe becos my lighting: 2 x MH150 + 2 x 24W blue actinics pendant is hung too high from the top of the tank to hv sufficient light pass through 3 ft to the bottom where the clams lay. Can someone comment on this?

[alanseah]

wow then I better stay watch to my 2 new clams..

I got 2 x 250W mh and 4 x FL actinics.. and they r not higher then 4" above water...

wonder if the clam happy about it.. as I can see they expand so much more and bigger then be4 I brought it...

[Dispar_Anthias]

Hmm so its a trend that clams are dying One word of warning.. those that bought clams especially from recent shipment(dun care from which lfs). pls check that your clams are not affected by pyramid snail as i notice recently the clam from new clam shipment brought in some hitch hiking pesky snails...... pyramid snail are very tiny snail ard the size of a rice grain and they are no monster to be mess with......... Treatment is none and only biological method of removal through using certain juv coris(clown coris is the fish i have lots of success with) or leopard wrasse

you can physically remove the snails, but that is only if there are on the clams....read from the net 6 line wrasse prey on these snails.....not did not succeed because my wrasse died in QT....

nah... i belive that siline are not so effective snail removal........ Best would be leopard wrasse, but this wrasse are not easy to keep

[19percula]

think of inverse square law and do some simple calculation and u know the ans

[damsel-in-distress]

think of this inverse square law and do some simple calculation and u know the ans

Tigger,

Pls. explain & broaden on this "inverse square law"?? I've absolutely no idea what U are talking about!

[Tigger]

maths formula

When u increase the length by double, the intensity will drop by 4 times.

[Zero Oxygen]

shit my crocea died suddenly in a day time, while my maxi is ok......

donno what is the problem leh.......

when i bought the clam from the lfs, the one next to it is dying..... could it be some disease ah ......
