[dkone]

... For Veriann, who I know likes his special aussie species ...

Here is a new aussie clam variety I discovered in my "Death Tank" a few days ago! I found some details on it online and thought I would share them with you !



From DeathDepot Dead Aquaria's webste. More information on this rare species!

Tridacna deathicus aussie Crocea Clam - 1st grade -

Diet: Needs no feeding. If you feel sorry for the deathicus you can eat a bowl of clam chowder infront of your tank.

Feeding: Not required

Behavior: Very peaceful toward other tankmates, some consider it to be comatose infact!

Care: Many consider the deathicus an Easily-maintenance specimen.

Lighting: Doesn't care if you have NO, PC, VHO, MH/HQI or T5. The deathicus thrives under any lighting condition and even total darkness!

Water flow: Too much water flow may blow your deathicus around the tank. The deathicus can be attached with glue to any substrate to prevent blowage!

General notes: Tridacna deathicus Crocea Clam 1st grade will come in a single color - dead. The deathicus Crocea Clam 1st grade is very peaceful to other tank members. The deathicus Crocea Clam 1st grade is an Easy-maintenance specimen. Any lighting, even a candle or flashlight once a week is fine. The deathicus Crocea Clam 1st grade requires low flow else it can be blow from the substrate.

Water parameters: Even the most foul water is good for your deathicus Crocea. (SG whatever your broken swingarm guage reads is fine, pH this clam can tolerate extremes, Temp. -50F to 500F though should not be placed under a broiler as this could crack the delicate shell).

Origin: The deathicus Aussie Crocea Clam 1st grade is commonly collected from The tanks of most experienced hobbiests!

Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.

Yes, the deathicus in this photograph was sitting on the carpet, out of water, in the sun. A true testiment to the hardiness of the species! It can be carried in the pocket, is great for your empty pico and doubles as an ash-tray in a pinch. No other clam in the industry has the versatility of the Tridacna deathicus crocea. Order yours today!

Warm Regards,

Grief! I've got one of those in my spa room, and I was using it as an ashtray. So exactly how long are they capable of existing outside of salt water? Heck, If I throw it in my tank, Vandamere might take of smoking with all the nictotein residue absorbed in the calcium!

"SO THATS WHT HAS BEEN MAKING HIM HANG UPSIDE DOWN ALL THIS TIME! "

lmao

[pvtdonut]

are you willing to do a trade with me Dkone?

i have live rock that i will trade. i found it in my back yard the other day, its filled with a ton of critters ranging from worms to arthroPODS....lol we know how neat all of that stuff can look in our tank... has a ton of mud u can scrape off and put in your sump too.


=P

Sadly the deathicus shell suffered from a structural integrity failure and separated into two halves - it could have been carrying it around in my pocket induced the failure! I threw the two halves into a cup of coffee so they would not be exposed to air for too long and fed them with a sugar substance, striring vigorously! I did consider the use of an expensive M.I.L.K additive but hate putting things into my cup that I cannot test for! I have hopes that the deathicus will make a full recovery, if not, then some super-glue gel may have to be dug out of my frag supplies to effect some quick repairs.

For now I have more live rock than I can shake a stick at, filling up my 75g sump slowly --- alas, I just can't take anymore, though MUD is always good - not sure if the stuff you apply to your face as a beauty product is suitable for a refugium though? (perhaps i'll ask Rob next TRL, "I put some face MUD in my fuge but it's just not working out for me - ideas?).

[Skurvey Dog]

Not too sure about the MUD, as I'm sort of thinking that it has a very high level of extra, unknown nutrient export there. Of course you could always get a maginified look at the corals pores/complexions and see if their polyps/pimples are vanishing. ???? Not sure that would be too good for them though. Will have to get back with you on that one!

You guys are nuts!
