i am planning on buying a 12"+ squamosa clam from another reefer, i have a 215 gallon tank, with about a half full 75 gallon sump......my question is how will the clam affect my params like calcium, i already have a small 3-3.5" maxima? or something like that....i know he is blue lol.......since this clam is so big will he really throw off everything? i have never had to dose calcium, nore have a calcium reactor...
 
at that size the clam has reached sexual maturity and growth has slowed greatly. while i can't guarantee you wont need to start adding Ca, there is a good chance that water changes will take care of it. you'll just need to test every so often and go from there.

good luck and please post some pics when you get him, of both clams :)
