no price on squamies

For the folks who don't know (like me) - what particulars are involved in keeping clams? Depth of sandbed? Light levels? Tank Size? Food? Pros on having a clam in a tank? Any information would be nice - been thinking about getting one.

And I assume that the pictures are shown in order of the list that is below them with prices on the first message?

Never mind - just found the website (the link that is in the first message doesn't work since they have a temporary site going at the moment - http://stores.homestead.com/KeenReef/StoreFront.bok)

Thanks for organizing this Skirz and Tim.

I will see if I can get these in quantity from my suppliers, if I can, we will add these to the power buy options.

I will keep you informed.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Thanks,

I just posted the pics without any particular order.

Does anyone know where I can find really good and simple information about taking care of clams?

I've been thinking about them... although I'm probably not in that game yet.

This is great. Thanks for putting this together guys. I'm probably going to take get 2.

Is blue the only color they come in?

i did a quick guide for keeping clams. do a search, i think its called clam keeping for dummies, or something like that. I'd find it for you but I'm too stuffed with turkey.

I know sometime ago (18-30 months ago) Ray did a great presentation about keeping clams. The meeting was held at CBA and he gave out his notes to all that wanted them.

His info detailed how to keep them, feed them, lighting requirements, ...

Do we have a copy of this presentation?

Clams for Dummies by glxtrix, and excellent starting point (or ending for that matter).

James Fatheree's Clam book, as well as the Giant Clam book by Daniel Knopp are both great, and the section of the invertebrate book that Anthony Calfo and Bob Fenner published has one really good chapter on clams in general.

I believe that James will be at MACNA in ATL this year talking about Tridacnid clams as well.

Has there been a decision about where and when for the December meeting yet?

Tim,
when are you planning on ordering the clams?? Also, when/where is dec. meeting?

Tim,

I am ordering them on the 5th of December. So the cut off date to order is the 4th. I do not know where the meeting is at.

The December meeting has not been announced yet... look for details next week.

There is only 7 days left to order these clams for the powerbuy.

I talked to my supplier and I can not get the Squamosa Clam through them. The others are waiting for their new owners though... :)

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks,

Tim

put me down for a 5" golden and a 4" crocea

So far we have 12 clam spoken for. There is only 5 days left to order. Please contact me to order one.

Come on guys!! Only 38 more to buy to get 5% additional discount--!!:thumbs:

I saw a clam today @ CapBay that I really liked. Problem is, I've no idea what kind it was. It wasn't large, but it was $100 ... instead of the usual electric blue, it was lavender, cream, mauve, pink & gray. I wish I'd taken a picture. If you have one like that, I'd definitely order.

there maximas area about 100 each for the real small ones and the 4 ince is 199

Please put me down for a 5" golden and a 4" crocea

With the meeting being on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, I am extending the deadline for ordering clams for the powerbuy to 12/12/07.

For those that have already ordered, contact me if you wish to pick your clams up this weekend. I will order clams on my weekly order for only those that wish to pick them up this weekend.

You can contact me via PM here, tsmith@keenreef.com, and phone: 678-524-4080.

Thanks,

Tim

There is still time to order a few more clams if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

Tim
