Sorry to hear about your loss.........I know exactly how you feel. It took me a while to buy another Clam after 2 losses.
On the brighter side, I was able to get a number of Clams that were and are healthy and surviving. Everybody knows that adequate lighting is required for Clams but a lot of people don't know that
Phytoplankton is a must to keep healthy Clams thriving.
