    Need Help : Clam care {2-3cm (1")}

    Due to my overdosing and also mishandling, some of the small clams died. Anyway, just an update that i have several friends keeping small clams without feeding phyto. Confirm it is not required for 1" and above to have phyto or feeding. Just enough light.

    DI Resin (Safe ?)

    Need some help on water quality. I'm using commercial grade DI REsin treating my tap water from TDS reading 50-65 to 0. I was told by fellow reefer that even if the reading is 0 dosn't mean that the resin might not leach out other harmful chemical that TDS is unable to detect. (i'm not sure...

    Clamtastrophe

    I visited a friend of mine last week and learn that he manage to keep his personifier angel with 3 clams for a year already in a 90gal SPS tank.

    Just a suggestion, you should consider taking out the coral beauty temporary as well. I have a friend told me that even a small African Pygmy Angel is causing havoc after 9mths in his tank (was told by his LFS that it is reef safe :oops: )
