I have had several VERY FRUSTRATING issues with my ACIII Pro. They drove me up a wall and I was ready to trash the thing. All of them ended up being user error.

The clams are all alive and well and siphoning away. I have 6, you can have 3 of them, if you want them. They are already acclimated to tank life, dug into the sand of my fuge, and pumping away.

Any stores open today?

Living Sea is open until 3, which won't help me now, since it is 2:45, but I am hoping I can find another LFS open.

Does anyone know?

OK, I tried to get a picture of the siphon and it looks like it came out good enough for you to see what it looks like. This is the only thing visible once the clam has dug into the sand.
