    we started breeding a. polymnus a few months ago and have babies that are just about ready to go. we have no idea what a fair price for them is. from all the research we have done it seems that we are the only people to have successfully done this,should this play into the price? heres a photo...

    PH LOW ... Help!

    i agree with Don. PH isn't controlled by buffers. CO2 is the most likely cause, 7.8-7.9 PH is fine.

    Clam lighting

    i have kept clams under PC's in the past. a general consensus (and IME) is it not a good idea. regardless of what you read in books or other people tell you, ALL of the Tridacnids and Hippopus clams are most commonly found in very shallow water. they all are primarily photosynthetic and rely on...

    Shells , increase or decerease calc levels ?

    shells just laying on the bottom of your tank will only add Ca if the surrounding waters ph drops to the low 7's or lower. if your tank water is in the PH range to dissolve calcium carbonate you have other serious problems to worry about. so the answer is no, they will not add or take away Ca...

    not phosphate removers again!!!

    im not saying iron causes PM but i think it triggers a Perkinsus to go into overdrive. so if you dont have the Perkinsus you wont get PM. i have a study on it (iron and perkinsus)if your intrested Don. i run mine in an old Berlin xl skimmer body, finally found a use for that POS :D
