    2, 1,000 gal. tubs
    4 crocea clams
    lighting: greenhouse natural/mh
    live sponges to keep water prestine
    catilina or hb beach water
    it goes through a cleaning system
    and to start the breeding proccess sacrifice 1 clam and cat in and around shell cut testicle area and spread
    gamites into the water and it will start a HUGE breeding stage
    at about 2 weeks after larvae have settled and grown shell and are about :-/ 4 mm long
    kent calcium supplement and lots of mysis, rotifers and phyto cultures!
    good luck future clam-illonare's!!

    I dont mean to sound discouraging, but your other thread you ask if you can keep a clam in a 20g nano, which I would say no to personally. and I know your relatively new to this so, you dont have any experience keeping clams, let alone breeding them. why would you even attempt it with out any knowledge or prior experience in the matter? its not like breeding guppies lol clams are high maintenance creatures

    You have the basics on clam farming...but there are some other nuances I think you may be missing.
