How many days do you normally allow your clams to adjust to your lights?
Reason I ask is I put my new clams in the tank and put some cardboard over the top of the tank so they wouldnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t receive direct light. I was thinking this would take about a week and I would slowly give them more light every day. Well in 2 days they have moved out of the shade and into direct light and angled themselves for more direct light. So I just removed the cardboard figuring they had adjusted.
On a side note one moved at a rate of about one inch a day. I thought that was very impressive.
Calms direct.com say "a few days" so I was wondering what other clam enthusiasts do?
