ICP Test Results
So my tank has always done pretty well except for when it comes to clams. I cant seem to ever keep them alive. I did an ICP test to see if anything crazy came up. I was hoping they would give some advice or details on the results but they didnt. Any help?

Not an expert on clams I just know they like low flow and high light....if your clams keep dieing and you have good parameters maybe they are starving? Or maybe a pest is killing them

There's nothing in that report that shows a problem. I agree that the problem might be lighting or a pest. Sometimes fish attack clams, too. Are the basic water parameters okay? Calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, SG, temperature, etc?

I have 3 Generation 4 Radions and T5s so I know lighting isnt a problem. I am able to keep and grow pretty much any SPS. No pests that I have ever been able to locate. I always check the clam after to see if I can find pyramid snails or something and never find anything. |

I'm not sure what's happening, then. I've only ever had a T derasa, and it grew like a weed. I guess I was lucky.

Have you considered perhaps supplemental plankton feedings?
