Clam and Calcium Reactor

[Fishboy9227]

Is it a must that you have a calcium reactor when having clams? Or can you just dose. I have a 29gal tank.

you don't need one but clams are calcium hogs dosing is fine

Depending on how many clams you have (or planning to) and what else is in your tank (total calcium demand). If it is just 1-2 clams (and they are not huge), additional dosing should be ok. I have three clams and just dose with calcium when it is low and they are fine. (Make sure you monitor the alk though, it needs to be in the correct range too).:thumbsup:

I have a clam in my 58 and 29 (( along with a good amount of SPS )), I do fine with out a Cal. reactor, I drip Kalk and dose two part.
