Is it just the mantles that are retracted, or are these closed too?

If you have a propagation section, maybe you can make some type of shield to keep the light from shining on other areas.

Seems to be appropriate for you. Pumps are all scrubbed and back together, just need to finish the skimmer area...should be done in about an hour. Hey...I might just get to bed early!

Anything new lately that you've done? My clams sometimes appear unhappy in a similar way, even when water parameters test fine. Have you had your hands in the tank lots?

they started looking bad at least 2 - 3 weeks ago. Haven't been doing much of anything in th etank during that time.
Clams are on the bottom and in the rock wrok, but I seriously doubt it's the lamps Barry.

Anything from the clam forum? I'm fresh out of ideas, sorry, up until recently I've only ever lost a clam to "natural causes", and after that it was all to the tank crash.

Dammit this thread split before I got to lay crap on Barry. What an opening and nobody took it
I'll look around a bit more in the local forums and see if I can find anything they may help with the clams Jonathon, but to date only the fireworms is all I've seen, outside the normal problems, such as light and water parameters. |

I noticed tonight, since I can partially see through the glass now, that the clams are not closing up after lights out like they normally do.

do a fresh water dip for 15 minutes, examine for tiny snails and remove them, may have to repeat this a few times over the next week or two

hehehehe...sometimes they don't survive the dip but I will be assessing that today. The hard part is that they are deep and mounted, so I have a really hard time trying to extract them.

He has a nice system.I wonder how people can afford such large systems.Here I am with a 300 and hardly any corals and I have spent so much.My system isn't fancy.Its just a tank with a sump.

some people live for their tanks, others define wealth differently.
He and I have a lot of reef keeping philosophy in common. I love the PHAT skimmer. Too bad it uses so much electricity!
