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 ;)
