Thomas' CADE Reef 1500 S2

[Turkeysammich]

I've tried a derasas twice, like 1-2 inch ones, they both didn't last 2 months for me. Though the 3-4 inch maxima clam I have had from 2 cams ago is looking great.

Not sure if I got bad/sick clams like u mentioned here or they were just way to small and fragile. Maybe a slightly larger one would have done better

Small clams under 3” really need phytoplankton They struggle

These all started 1-2", never fed phyto. Just light and fish food/poop particles.

How large are they now?

The clam holders are 3.25" long. Largest Maxima is just slightly smaller. The crocea on the left was added later and started about 1.5", now maybe 2.25".
