I also have 1 clam died on me about 2 months back. Dunno why, I bought 2 from the same batch, but one just die off after 1 week.

Both were reacting well to lights and shade (i.e. open and close fast!)

[dradttg]

i feed with mysis shrimp nowadays....

Bro Roidan,

You put your hands into the tank to feed ah??

If not, how do you reach your sun coral.

[roidan]

If not, how do you reach your sun coral.

use those long tongs lor..hehe..time consuming lor.. an easier method is to flood the water with food and let them catch themselves...but i rather not cause pollution in the system..hehe

another unusual piece in my collection...

[roidan]

this one from bro planetg...

abit ordinary at first..but then i realise the little green gems bordering the clam mantle...really look nicer, photo dun do justice....like green emerald gems....

almost like the diamonds around those ladies rolex watches...lol

[roidan]

as a gesture of apology..(details in my 4ft tank thread) .the first ugly clam i kick out of my clam tank will go to bro blenny's tank when it is ready for clams.....FOC

but warning first, really ugly...hehehe..but at least u can use it to see if your system is clam suited

[AlfaRomeo]

Wow Bro, very very nice clams you have there. How much are the clams roughly?

[roidan]

hello bro alfa romeo...

depending...ranges from $30 i got from some bros here....to sometimes $100 a piece for those out of this world patterns...hehe

[roidan]

hey brother roidan, if yo still consider me as brother no need to do that. Most important thing is that we have cleared up the small hiccup. If it make you feel any better a cup of kopi will do when we meet up after CNY.

hehee.....of coz treat you as brother...lol...hehe

yeah...we should be drinking coffee at your place when your tank comes...hehehe

no lah...must let me have some excuse to boot some spacetaking clams in my collection mah....*sniggles*

really lah...really ugly clam...but quite big size...so when your tank is ready for it, we pick a good date from the almanac and i bring it over to your tank...haha

[roidan]

Tank chemistry levels today:

KH= 10.72

Ca= 440

Mg= 1290

[roidan]

hey brather, where did you get mg testing kit from ha? Is it ex?

Have never tested that b4 lei

salifert....i got from reborn 2nd floor one day when i was there...about 20odd...quite alright the price...

coz i read in here and then in reefcentral that magnesium does affect cal/alk levels if it is very low...so i backside itchy go buy a test kit and test lor...hehe

anyway, all these water test kits really like chemistry mini labs...lol

[roidan]

hehe...

yeah man...all the titration stuff...really sec school chemistry...lol

your mum damn funny....

[nutx]

She see me test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, KH, GH and CA and ask me if I am trying to be a bio-chemist. Ha ha ha ha  My funny mom

Bio science is the new direction from govt mah....so we start from here lor....

[nutx]

hey nutx are you doing the same?

same wat? definitely not bio-science...my chemistry all return to teacher long ago...

I only test dkH and calcium. Ph using a test pen.

NO3 occasionally and the rest I ignore, bec they were zero previously and not suppose to increase.

[nutx]
