Pinched mantle & freshwater dip

[Doug]

Well that never worked worth a hoot. All 3 clams are infected again. Stringy snot coming from the pinched mantle portion. Same places as before the freshwater bath.

So, in they went again tonight, for another 1/2hr. Poor clams. Back in the tank and looking ok, for what they went through. The crocea seems to not even be bothered by the freshwater.

I read a bunch on Barry,s forum, regarding excessive iron from phosphate removers and pinched mantle. So out comes the Phosban, , in goes extra carbon. Wish I had some Poly Filters or Chemi-Pure.
