Hi,
I have to agree with the others. Everything thrives in my tank but I've lost 2 clams and it happened overnight for both. The only thing I can come-up with is that I used Liquid calicum reactor the day before. Don't use that anymore. I now have a calcium reactor but I haven't tried a clam yet.

I currently have 6 clams in my 110g but I have lost a couple in the last few years. No apparent reason although I am sure that it is just when I start to think "there ain't nothin' to keeping these darn clams" Then phoof - it dies.
So the 6 I have in my tank are very very difficult to keep I have just been using the Salifert all in one calcium additive but I really have to get one of my calcium reactor up and running as it is getting too expensive to use the Salifert.

Yep he's gone now, just an empty shell It did happen very quickly. I wish there was something I could have done. At least it's good to know that this is something that can happen to clams. I won't be afraid to try another one sometime in the future.

Thanks for the input everyone.
