maxima placement

[hotlemond]

I have a maxima for the past weeks and he is doing fine on the subtrate; often digging into it. I read the issue of placing them on the rock and bury the rock into the sand. Is this a better way to place maxima?

I may not have access to LR of a suitable shape and size. Can I use regular flat pebble rock instead?

how about using 1/2 shelf of dead clams ?

T. Maxima & T-crocea don't prefer to be place on the sandbed compare to T. derasa and T. squamosa.

U can check your LR for suitable place to place it and they like bright lights.

Yes or either you can place the rock half buried into the sand and den place the clam on top of it,..... having their byssal attached to soemthing, it is more diff for predator to get there

Hi Bro,

I have the problem too with my Maxima, it keep on dropping when I put it on top of the rock, so now I decide to it on the sandbed.
