I forgot to mention the light difference in PAR value between the two tanks at the clam position is a bit different, lower on the nano. For now, I won't remove the Frag plug, I want to see his reaction first. Also sorry for the video quality, I had to rush a little for this one. Something else I don't mention: Dinos will always be there, I can only control their growth. In fact, they have been in my aquarium since almost the beginning but I just never really mention it since I was able to control them in the past but the aquarium is changing and it hasn't reached its final form, so more balance control has to be done.
Sorry for video quality, you said. Just like the 17-year-old Spanish girl that won the silver medal in the Olympics and said she was sorry for losing the final. Come on, guy. The video is GORGEOUS.
I have a Tridacna Maxima too and love her. I do care the most about the light acclimation. We have a nice book about giant clams here in Germany, which spend me the most knowledge about those clams.
Not going to lie, Title sent me on a whole other track! However, I'm glad I watched the whole thing. First time seeing your videos and don't understand most of what you're talking about but I'm now going to have to go through the rest of them because it's beautiful! (P.S. You also absolutely had me on the Acclimation!)
Hahaha, yeah I was stratching my head for the acclimatation process, Clam are not a typical coral, they can required Acclimatation but ... the important paramaters were so similar. Have fun watching :) I document literally everything!
I don't know if your voice is like Mickey Mouse or Lurch from the Addams family, but I do know, and see, fine examples of Reef keeping. It's always excellent to see your videos.

Great video my friend! Can I use a 1:3 hydrogen peroxide mixture to kill off a bacterial infection on my trumpet coral and acans? I know some corals can be sensitive to HP, but I’ve noticed that in your past videos, you have used it for killing algae.
I don't, I hesitate to share this stuff, my advice, use what it offer. I will come back to this subject into some very specifics videos about this ... eventually, after I'm done with this series.
Man dude are you going to restart the tank? I’m dealing with Dinos too. Just finished a 3 day blackout while dosing dinox and having a UV light. If that doesn’t work I’m thinking a 5-6 day blackout will work. Is just move my corals somewhere meanwhile.
Why would I restart? I've managed them for a year so far ;) Watch out for long black out, it can hurt corals, you probably have a type of dino that black out doesn't work well, it depends on the species. If you have move coral somewhere else (another tank I assume?) careful because you bring dinos with them, but perhaps the other tanks can manage it.
@@AquaSplendor I have prorocentrum. Up until now I had not tried a black out. It’s a lot of work to get rid of them. I can’t just enjoy my aquarium and they’ve already killed my urchin some crabs and some corals. Today my black out ends. Im going to clean the tank and do a water change. Hopefully it worked. Oh I picked up some live phytoplankton and pods too. I’ll be dumping them in today.
@@Goose619 If you can find stuff that eat them that would be the best! Make sure you have a stable parameter in the tank, swing have tendancy to create prolification of dinos. I'm a bit lucky in my case, the black out is feasable and higher temperature is tolerated by my corals.
If you open the clam and take the shells and you cover it around your hears like headphone, they would recover your hears, that pretty much the size (I haven't measure it honestly)
@@AquaSplendor how sad with such a great channel and video but you keep misinforming people calling coral something that is not and can create confusion on people specially people trying to keep them. Your answer seem to be very ignorant and change completely the image your professional videos give you. :(
@@desdelabarra It doesn't matter the category name we put on creature, what matter is what it needs to thrive. I was aware of this misinformation, but this series is not for advance people but for beginners. The same way Anemone is not a Coral and yet...
@@AquaSplendor with more reason to say it right if there new people, that way they don’t get it wrong from the beginning. This is the first time in 19yrs I here someone call clam a coral but anemone? Really? Hahahaah
Corals are also invertebrates. LOL. But yes, a clam is a bivalve, which is a type of mollusk. Mollusks are invertebrates just like corals (cnidaria). Octopus are mollusks, strangely enough.

Dinos with 40% water change weekly... this is your issue. Water changes speeds dinos breed
(Yes) but nan, I'm heavily feeding atm, if you implying low nutriment near zero, it's not the case. I have to because my water get dirty really fast at the moment (intentional). I have not much that reduce nutriment either except water change. It's the only thing that prevent the tank crashing. (At the moment...)
The clam segment was hilarious :D

@@neptunes_potcould you tell me how the book is called?
This channel brings reefing videos to a whole new level. The creativity is just soo diverse in this video
Ah, very pleasing when people notice it :).
I'm keeping a recipe but I like to put different ingredients at times to spark the dinner 😄
Beautiful Crocea! And you had me going for a sec there w/ the the clam acclimation steps, LOL!
Important to stay salty!

beautiful Video
Can't believe I'm the first one to say this but clams are not corals
Oh let's not go that way lol. Were you going to say they are mollusc or invertebrate ?
Very beautiful that claim!!
Thank you!
YOU ARE THE ALPHA CLAM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Your videos are masterpieces .
The problem of Tridacnas is the dimension .
Will see, it takes place indeed, but I plan my coral arrangement in advance except for 1. (With light and shadow)
10/10
I had a moment of panic 😂
Well done as usual
Thank you
#8 step got me crying
#Sorry:P
Really pretty clam, enjoy its beauty...........by the way, sun coral loves artemias.
Thank you, yeah I've tried artemias, I mean, I have something like 18 different type of food lol... Just coming from my LFS with more food, will see.

In one of his videos, he actually has a quite lengthy discussion. It's about midway through the series.
"annoying french-canadian accent" sound voice :P
@@AquaSplendor it's only annoying if you're attempting to be degrading to someone. We all have accents from where we grew up, mine is deep southern Arkansas.
you should add one small yellow tang to get rid of algae.
I can't tell if it's a sarcasm? but its funny :)
Dose one million of chato grow a day and all your corals will like it
Make sure corals dont sting ur clam
My corals selection over the year was with this purpose :)
Your vids inspire me to do better on my own :-)
Awesome :)
I am a little offended that you didn't use garlic butter on your clam.
I'm so sorry!
I was in a rush, I noticed I didn't had any garlic left :(
I won't happen again, pinky promise!
Seafood should never trust a French Canadian… that’s like hens trusting a 🦊

Great video my friend! Can I use a 1:3 hydrogen peroxide mixture to kill off a bacterial infection on my trumpet coral and acans? I know some corals can be sensitive to HP, but I’ve noticed that in your past videos, you have used it for killing algae.
Hmm personally with Caulastrea I would avoid H2O2, maybe iodine dip would be better? Less harmful at least.
How did you defeat the Dynos?
General maintenance + UV is my combination for Ostreopsis
40% weekly water change? Wow.
And there's time it's not enough! (it's around 30 to 50%) it's never the same, depends on the feed.
Another great video 👏. How often u feed the clam?
Every week? Not sure, when I feed other corals like Goniopora, some NPS, I squirt a little bit on the clam also
@@AquaSplendor thank you so much ^^
I wonder if you could share your Radion xr15 spectrum settings?
I don't, I hesitate to share this stuff, my advice, use what it offer. I will come back to this subject into some very specifics videos about this ... eventually, after I'm done with this series.

Hello, congratulations on your tank! What is the size of the tank?
Check in the description, all the info there :)
YOU BOIL THEM!?!?!?!?!?!?! edit: i see i overreacted.
😂
What is the size of that clam? Is gorgeus by the way
If you open the clam and take the shells and you cover it around your hears like headphone, they would recover your hears, that pretty much the size (I haven't measure it honestly)
I love your videos and everything! But why, why you keep calling the clam. Coral, IS NOT A CORAL is an invertebrate.

@@apdroidgeek1737 maybe, I don't have a test kit on my head but one thing for sure they like is bright light 😅
Be careful with that product, I used it and followed the directions to the letter, I lost the tub, everything but the dino died
