As far as the Clam tank goes,
Im not sure on the tank at the store Mark.... I wonder how the waterfall will look with a generous dose of purple coraline algae. It is a ramp for the crawlies too. Im 50-50. Still leanin toward it. But I may just set it up as a rearin tank for smaller clams if and when I attempt to spawn my big squamosa. The Beer invite still stands...

Do you have any research etc. on clam rearing? I'll take anything you've got, from links to photos, etc. I'm assembling clam spawning and rearing information right now as a project.

Send me a private message. I have a fantastic contact and paper on spawing from the states. I will forward it to you. The rearing is the elsuisive part. From what I have experienced shallow water 8-10 inches to start. Circulation with little or no mechanical filtration, no skimmer at first. High calcium/ carbonate availability, light, phytoplankton, rottifiers... and .... wait.
Once you see some shell/growth start to increase depth of water and filtration... (I think, no soild info just yet). It's is rumored to take 2-3 years before you get a good Idea on the yeild.

I'll send you a PM, however I think it would be fantastic to start a separate thread on clam propagation as well. I've been researching into and I think the more discussion we can generate the more of a benefit it can be to others.

You should look at having one of the Canreef sponsors build you a Clam tank. Not much height but a lot of depth and width. It shouldn't be much if any over a standard tank that doesn't quite meet your exact "clam" needs.

Any gueses what I did out there? yes it's a trick question that will lead to a greater question... Lets play anyways... What did I do to my tank to make the Cyanobacteria disappear in two days?

LOL!
Ok, great Idea. Do you want them steamed or stir fried? I recomend steamed with butter and garlic. Seriously though, if you are after one for real private message me and I will get you a ball park landed price. I will get on for you, cause I know they are hard to come lately. Atleast where I am the are. Not knowing where you are I am making an assumption. Scott.
