Hello. I am wondering, how much do 2-3 in croceas cost for you locally? I want to know if my local stores are too expensive.

I always see them for 53.99 at the one fish store that carries the only decent ones around me.

op- it might be easier to say:
they got a blue such and such for such and such that is so big...that might give you a fair price estimate..

Ryan, Aquahut? They're about 1.5 - 2' for 35, Still a steal for a clam but sometimes bavy clams can be tough to raise.

oh i didnt even notice they put in that info in the top...2-3 inch crocea $40 unless it is black. the black ones really popular here, they would go for $60 probably at that size, they had a larger one that was $99

honestly I would get my clams from reef empire on ebay. Have a bunch of clams posted every thurs I think . I bought 3 three inch croceas for like $130 with free shipping. Really nice clams there too. Oh and they generally go from about 40-60. most of em end up going for like 50 tho.

#### you cant get a clam cheaper than 50$ down here. i even work for a LFS and i pay 45$ for 1" maxies. but i must admit im getting pretty good keeping the babies alive. out of 8 1" i only lost 2.
and i never see coerse for sale. you got 3 down here 3" ora sqausmose (60$), 1-2" maxies(50-90$) and 2" dersea(70$)
i wish i had yalls prices.

Thanks all. I'm getting a 2in maxima for $60, do you think 150w mh and 28w t5 over a bc8 is enough light?

That will be plenty. I am surprised you don't have heat problems. Stay on top of your params!
