clam question im a newb when it comes to clams

[Peabody]

Again....here's another problem with clams. WHen they start to look bad, 95% of the time it's too late to do anything. Moreoften than not they look great, and thenext day the're dead.

That's funny considering the thread title is "I'm a noob when it comes to clams"

Why do people come on here and ask advice if they're just going to do their own thing anyways? Don't tell us that you're going to put this animal's life in danger just because you feel like it.

Just thought that deserved repeating!

I don't think people are trying to put you down. I think it's more that you asked for advise and then shunned what you received.clams need certain things, and stability is very high on the list.stability is much more difficult in a small,nano tank

Ditto what Mbbuna said. No one's mocking you, you're just not getting the answer you want and are saying "the hell with it, I'll risk the animal's life". We're all trying to convince you that it's a bad idea (many of us know from experience!) and you don't care.

seems like the easiest thing to do would be put the clam in with the other 4 you have. that way we all win. you get you clam, all the reefcentral members can sleep easy knowing that the clam will be in a good home. why not put some other low light, hardy coral in there like mushrooms, star polyps or some thing to liven up the sea horse tank. or you can plumb you 2 gal into your 46 add the proper lighting to it and give it a shot with out telling us. that way when/if you have success you can tell us about it and if not chalk it up to a loss and keep it to your self. again, not trying to be a jerk or put you down.
