featherblue Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I noticed some bubble algae on my maxima clams shell. Usually when I see bubble algae on a new addition I remove the rock or plug and scrap it clean in a seperate container of tank water; limiting any spores from a popped bubble getting into my display. Will my clam tolerate this same treatment? Any other suggestions? Ive done good keeping bubble algae out if my display so far abd I need to get rid of this before it can spread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rworegon Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Clams are a lot more resilient than most people think. In tidal areas of the ocean they can be out of the water for hours. As long add the water you are using to scrub the clam in is from your display, temp, salinity, and ph match, I'd say you should be ok.

featherblue Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Water for rinsing has been comming strait from the display, fresh scoop per rock to limit spores in their rinsing water. Water used for rinsing is going down the drain. Finishing algae scrub with a wc. Waters mixed and heating up the last lil bit Sooo glad all the new guys were still in the sand when the bubbles started to appear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
