    Are you going to invent some super way cool greenwater recipe once your clams are home?

    I couldn't go on "reefless". I missed my 75G but didn't want to set up anything that big (yet). I miss having clams too..and this is a great clam tank.

    I do have a greenwater recipe that I use... but it is Top Secret

    Wellll...

    I want one squamosa for my sand bed, in front. I'm VERY picky about my clams. I really have to fall in love with its pattern and I always watch them for a week or more at the LFS to ensure that they are happy and healthy.

    Then, I want to get a couple crocea for the rocks. Same criteria.. I have to fall in love... I'm in no rush.

    Finally, I never, in the time I kept reef, had luck with Maxima. Go figure. Most have problems with crocea. I had one, and it was doing very well until it was preyed upon by snails. In the end, I had a skunk cleaner who would nip at and tear at it's byssal threads. I got rid of the shrimp, but the clam finally called it quits. I lost it after having it for just two years.

    The croceas and squamosas that I used to own are all still doing well, albeit in other friends tanks. It's not that I can't "do clams". I just had back luck with Maxima. With that said, now that I'm going to have a true clam tank, with design in mind just for tridacnids, I'm going to try again.

    In the end, I think I'll have about 1/2 dozen or so, and the pair of flasher wrasse.
