I plan on it as soon as things calm down a little, thus the reason the tank isn't setup yet!

I was thinking about coming to the June meeting.

A couple questions:
1) Are there any inverts that should not be kept with clams: Cleaner Shirmp, Brittle Stars, Hermit Crabs, etc?
2) Are there any corals/Anemones that should not be kept with corals?
3) Are there any reef safe fish that do not do well with clams?
4) Any special equipment needed?
5) What's best to feed?

1) shouldn't be a problem
2)There are lots of corals that should not be kept with other corals, but clams should be OK.
3) Sixline wrasses do excellent maintainence on clams and help to keep them parasite free.
4) Halides (for best results) good water quality (pristine is not necessary)
5) I use cyclopeeze and regular foods for the fish and corals, the clams must be getting enough from this. Maintain your calcium levels.

THanks Tim....I always look forward to your advice! :shades

I will keep the 6 line in mind for sure...was thinking about one of those anyway.

Got the MH, was going to add Antinic and moon glows to the mix.
