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 mantle is still slightly withdrawn but the "pinching" seems to have subsided.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.
