This is a bigger turnout than I expected,to be honest I originally wanted a couple only for myself.
As I found a good distributor with ample supply of Clams but unfortunately as I started doing upgrading on my tanks and not be able to handle so may clams to fill everyone's order,so a hard decision had to be made read below




Ok I will explain it in details as I read all my posts and they are a bit of mess:biggrin:

All this information will be up on the thread starter to simply make easy for everyone.

As soon as I get the shipment in it will go in a holding tank for a last look and for a drip acclimation,24 hours later goes into the frag tank that is hooked up to my main tank.

I will take individual photos of the available clams and adjust pricing according to what I paid for it.

WYSWYG every clam will have a number and you need to pm me or email me at caco3reef@gmail.com for pricing (1st pay 1st served,EMT OR CASH) in-town or not.(I am in the process of setting up a flight account so bare with me...)

For shipping it is best to do a group buy as that will reduce price of flight (delivered to one address only.

I will give ample time for everyone to get on the thread,meaning I will post the moment I receive the clams then a day later I will post all types of photos then 3rd day will be setup as WYSWYG and that will go for 24 to 48 Hrs depending on availability.

If I had dealt with you in the past and would like to pay cash I will hold your clam.

I will run this type of special for a few days then I will have one day open house for the remainder.

At the end what is left will be to get hold of me and come by for viewing or purchase.

This list will keep updating so again bare with me.

So anyone out of town will pay more because of shipping and will get the leftovers? Ouch.

And here is some more:biggrin:

Common Name: Maxima
Scientific Name: Tridacna Maxima
Max size: 6 Inches
Tank size: Recommended in tanks >50 gallons
Food: Photosynthetic but benefits from
zoo & phyto plankton
Reef safe: Yes
Lighting Req: High. T5 or above
Placement: On rocks
Notes:
Should be placed middle to high up in the rock work depending on color intensity of mantle. Blue requires more light than green or brown. Largest color spectrum of all clams. Needs supplemental feeding for proper growth. Prefers moderate flow and will attach firmly to rock. Can be difficult to keep and is less hardy than other clam species. Tank size above 50 gallons is recommended due to potential size. Will reach maximum size in 5-7 years. Purchase clams over 3" in size as smaller has a high mortality rate.

I got the impression they were going to be sold Sunday. Guess I'm too late.
