This is like a battle eh?!
Really I just want information on this & appreciate your input, I just didnt like the flavour of your first post.

I dont disagree that the clams will produce waste. All living things do. With a Huge bioload of clams & phytoplancton, and no biological filter, there is bound to be build up of ammonia etc. I'm not expecting the clams to uptake ammonia, just Nitrates.

You seemed to imply earlier that only photosynthetic organisms could reduce nitrates. That doesnt make sense to me. Bacteria do it.
