myjohnson Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 The clam I want it about 1.5 inches. I know they are not has hardy as the 3" ones. Any tip on flow? position for lighting? I have a mexspect 16w g2 over a 60p. I don't run the 30w Leds. Any thing else I can do to make it get pass the 2"" mark? Link to comment
Daleo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 supposedly it is a myth that clams under 2" need phyto, and that young clams die from stress of shipping. so, if it is local, and it has been there over a month, then i would go for it. however, if it is online, i'd pass. there are no tips to keeping a young clam really other than don't ship them...
