Clam dieing??

[rutz81]

Was just wondering if the health of my clam is in jeopardy. Have had it for a few months now, was doing well, until al of a sudden the edges on one side started to turn inward and it is not opeing as wide as when I first got it.

Here's a pichttp://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=124400&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500

It is kinda hard to see, but, if you look close at the front of the clam, you can see what I am talking about.

Thanks for any help.

i was having the same problem until i got my DKH up. this just happened the other day too. i got it up to 11 now and mine looks great.

[rutz81]

how much can I add in one day?

[kevensquint]

As much as you need. Just have to watch the PH.

you don't want to raise your ALK to fast. read and follow the directions

i raised it about 1 unit per day over a 5 day period.
