I'm not sure how rare it is, I think it's reasonably uncommon for the most part but having said that I seem to get about at least once a year. My clams are older and larger than average though, so it could have something to do with size and age.
Most of the times the event seems small enough but I did have a massive clam spawn about a year ago that spiked my system hard enough that I did lose fish, I think it was due to O2 depletion, the fish that died were all breathing/pumping very hard and heavy in their final moments. Not much you can do to prevent it, if it happens it happens, just be sure to keep your carbon clean, skimmer clean and be ready to do a waterchange if need be afterwards.

Delphinus: what was the size of the clam and your tank size?

Tank is a 115g cube (30"x30"x30"). I never did find out for sure which clam(s) it was that time but it may have been my 12" squamosa. Had another spawn about a month ago and it was my 8" maxima that time (thankfully nobody died that time but it still made a huge mess of the tank).

All being juvinille aside, this is a FANTASTIC looking tank...the colonies are incredible.

winter arrived here yesterday.. about 8inch of snow on Montreal...
I noticed that the PH of the tanks started veried a lot since we close the windows and start heating more... probably normal..the oxygenation of the room where the reef is may got lower... we will restart our kalkawaser reactor anyone notice this?
