Feeding my new clams
I just put two maxima's in my 150. They are in the sand at the bottom of my 24" deep tank sitting directly under a 400W MH. They are about 2-3" long (one is blue and the other is blue green).
What is the best way to feed these guys? Type of food and method you recommend to get them that food?
Frank

Frank lots of people bowl feed them so as not to polute the water column,just take them out put them in a tupperware container add some dts and leave them in about 20 mins then put them back into the tank do this at least once a week
make sure they get plenty of light.
