It's attached to a small rock that it came with. I moved it closer to the light to see if it helps. I should have bought a squamosa or dursa.

Ok ...that dosnt seem to new....croceas and maximas tend to do better in more established systems....do you know where your nitrates are sitting? Do you feed with phyto or anything similar? Do you run a UV sterilizer?

What other parameters do you test for in your tank? What levels is everything sitting at? What's the temp and salinity? How deep is your tank? How far off the water is the light fixture?

My nitrates are 0 last time I tested. We usually buy the bottle of Kent with the clam on it but I currently have ChromaPlex. I don't have a sterilizer on my system.

You only test calcium and nitrates? Do you test for anything else? and again...temp and salinity? I'm not sure which bottle of Kent has the clam on it...can you take a peek at it, and tell us what it is?

Sorry Myka I must have missed your message while I was typing another.

The tank is 18" deep, light fixture is 4" from the water and the Clam is 4" from the water surface(moved from 8" yesterday).

Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites: 0
pH: 7.8
KH: 90
Ca: 480
Sal: 1.027 (making RO water right now)
Temp: 80F

I don't have the Kent bottle with the clam on it anymore but I beleive it was phytoplex.
