Love hearing everyones good results.
It looks like anyone testing their nitrates before and after have found them to be good cleaners!
I've got a brand new small empty tank set up. It's for anemone breeding, but before I move the anemones into it, I'll do a little test with the clams and some nitrate. Measure how long it takes 5 of them to reduce it.
I keep my display tank at 84+ degrees, which is warmer than most people. That could be the reason some of my manila clams have died. I have a dozen more in there now and they seem to be doing well. None died on acclimation this time.

My tank was proof enough for me - my nitrates were always 60ppm and above I feed my critters well so I know where the nitrate was coming from. I have changed nothing except added the cherrystones to my fuge 4 at first until the nitrates were down at which time I gave 2 away and the 2 that remain have kept the nitrates 0-5ppm for almost a year.
