Brad!
Has everyone who has lost clams recently done so after introducing new ones to their tanks?
My tank got up to 88-90 degrees :eek: during the hot spell. (forgot to hook up the fan :rolleyes: ) I lost a couple of soft corals and 2 sps, but, my clams, are happy as clams. :D The 2 derasa's have been in the tank for years and the 2 maxima's have been in there for 6-8 months. I had been thinking of adding a few more, but,I think I'll wait until someone has a better idea of what is going on concerning the recent loses.

Dale, as far as I can tell, yes, everyone introduced a new clam. I've asked on RC about their thoughts on heat and so far I got a response from a guy WITH a chiller who lost all his clams. This was after adding a new one. I hope to get more feedback since I just posted the questions. I'll report what I hear back. I would definitely wait on adding another clam. JMO

Brad!
I don’t think we will ever find out what the caused what seems to be a North American problem? If you read what people are saying you can find yes’s and no’s . Well maybe it something really weird that is causing this like the planets are all in line and causing some weird gravity pull.
What would be interesting to know is if there has been any higher than average die off in the wild? Maybe it is a cyclical die off every 50 years, mother natures way of not allowing a over abundance etc etc. I would really like to find out what is causing the problem but I don’t see anything happening unless we get a marine biologist to spend time and resources to do the investigation properly. My 0.02 worth.

I just dont know what could have kill your clamm and sorry for you loss guys
I will tel my own experience with the heat. I have 3 clam my older one is about 3 1/2 years old the second was but 2 years ago with the bisale disk copletly open and the mantle look bad in fack the LFS sell it to me very cheap because he was about to lost it. my most recent one is 2 month old but it is a big one of about 8 inch they all trive and I dont do notting special to them and I never add any suplement other than Kalkwaser,my temp fluctuate like hell from 80 to 86 and it seem to not afect the clams Anyway maybe each of you who have lost there clam should publish in one post all you parameter what you add do you use carbon where you buy the clams etc etc........only experience not what you have read or heard of because this mean notting IMO. I will even share all what I do to keep mine alive Maybe you will find someting all of you have in commons who kill those clam and it will be more helpfull than argue or agree and disagree ;)

To reiterate, it is not one retailer selling bad clams. If a retailer has sold a clam that was part of a bad shipment, they are as much a "victim" as those that purchased it. The greater volume a retailer moves, I suppose could increase the likelihood of a sick clam passing thru their system. Have you followed the thread on RC to date?
