    kudos for you for doing this ar 10, im 15 and it is sometimes too much i spend every bit of money i get on this stuff. lol just dose calcium like once a week or so to keep it up and you should be fine for a clam. i would put it up high on the rock work as well so it gets the required light.

    Get a cheap toms aqualifter dosing pump off ebay and connect it to a drip valve. Just put a bucket of kalk connected to one end. That's what I did for my 5 gallon

    if the clam is healthy and growing, kalk probably won't keep up. At least unless you have a heck of a lot of evaporation.
