    Hi TRT, I have an Aqua Zonic Super Bright Extendable LED Light Marine 60-80cm 26.82watts and I was wondering if this lighting would be okay for a maxima clam in a 23 x 15 x 15 inch tank? Cheers :):beer:

    I recently purchased 2 maxima clams. After acclimating, I placed them both on the substrate Aragonite Live--fine). My tank is 29" high, and is lit by 3 Ecotech Radion XR15's that come on around 1:00 PM and shut-off around 11:30 PM. They start off at blue and gradually work there way up to full...

    So I got a nice 2 inch gold maxima clam about 3 weeks to a month ago. He has looked great besides never seeming to find a position he was ever happy in.

    I won an auction at my local LFS and picked up a gold maxima clam. It is maybe 2" across, questions are as follows; 1) placement, I have 2x250 Mh lighting so I placed it on the sand bed, however I've read that they are happier on rocks so where should it be?? 2) to feed or not to feed, this is...

    So I've been reefing for a while and did my research before I purchased my first clam. My question is how long is it before my clam should attach himself to the rock? My hermits keep knocking him down. I have him on the Sand bed but on rocks. I can't put it near the top of my rock work...
