clam on it's way out

[fishface]

uggh, this is painful watching this clam fade away. i just don't know what to do with it. i've read all i can, apparently if they're gonna go they just go, this one seems to just be suffering. FW dip didn't seem to do anything for it, i searched the shell and byssal area for any unwanteds...there was nothing. i just cannot find the source of irritation...

yup I know your pain man , I have a nice metallic blue one that i Think is on it's way out to clam heaven.

Darryl, did you read my thread on pinched mantle and the possible effects of excessive iron?

i did at that Doug, thanks for that. it's has been off now for 3 days and i've been running a fair bit of carbon as well since i turned off the GFO reactor. not sure what else there is left for me to do...at this point.

well, GL, i dont know many people that have good stories about clams, they all seem to die out if not right away, than around a year.

well, i don't want to jinx this clam...but i think it's almost back to it's original good health. mantle is still slightly withdrawn but the "pinching" seems to have subsided. i just thought that after all the bad clam stories around here i would post a happy ending.
