crocea clam suppliments???

[zombiereef]

i have a 4" crocea in my 20L with a 150w 20k MH light. light is about a foot off the surface of the water. it seems to be doing pretty good. i am very new to clam keeping and was wondering if there are any foods/suppliments that really make a difference. i am planning on getting some dt's oyster eggs to suppliment the tank with. is this good/bad/indifferent. what about coralvite, selcon and others? thank you in adcance.

None necessary, and the oyster eggs are too large for the clam. DT's is about all he would "eat".

You do need to constantly monitor Calcium and ALK, and keep them both high and steady (I do 450ppm and 11dkh) and keep salinity and temp rock steady. Your clam will love you for it.

thanks. i hear clams require light as 95% of their diet. what makes up the rest? nitrates???
