I've tried seahorse systems in the past, and I have found that they require far more attention than I am willing to put forth. I also found that I got really attached to them, and I felt incredibly bad when they eventually died because of my inattentiveness. There are 2 specimens that I have a unique attachment for,1 is an Octopus, and the other are seahorses. I have a lot of respect for people who can keep these beautiful creatures......
Not sure, but I would guess around 50lbs or so. It is one giant muscle.... I am planning on using a large plastic bag. Submerge it, and put the clam into it without exposing it to air. This will take a couple of people to do. I'm sure that bag will be quit heavy once out of the water......
This is a good idea, but the problem is that it would take an 18"x18" sheet of plexiglass to block the discharge of water. The siphon can blast water from 360 degrees. Where ever its pointing, thats were the water is going. The other issue is the force the water is being expelled. The top of the clam is 10" under water. That is a powerful stream to send a pint/quart of water shooting out of the tank, and onto the floor. Maybe I need big Allan to come threaten it alittleI love clam chowder......
