Ok. Ill order one in a sec online. I had been looking at some that had the thermal compensation and they came with water to calibrate. I think it was 50 including shipping. Don't remember what brand though.

Ok I have a little bit to add hopefully I don't get flamed... I hope you can succeed but ther are many inherent problems with this in a closed system I researched t years back and got tons of advice from a friend that used to work with a clam farm in the pacific one problem you are gonna have is keeping them fed till they are large enough to sell this tales awhile sometimes ears to get big enough, second is you will need a closed system with absolutely no life besides the clams in it the invertebrates in our systems will kill small clams (think his point has been brought up,) last problem I see is that you will need a good digital microscope to do this right not only will you need this to properly mix eggs and sperm but you will need it to closely watch be growth of the clams and to be able to space them as needed as they grow. I hope you can succeed but I never tried for the point of time and money it will take to raise them to market size plus i didnt want to look at an empty sand bed till they were big enough to see with the naked eye. Lastly and I will probally get crap for this but I do believe this is possible and so do some experts but it will take perfection to do

Guy has been out of the hobby then back but hasn’t posted again in like 8 months.
Also considering the op’s experience level, I highly doubt anything happened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
