Pinched Mantle?

Beyond the phyto/zooplankton issue, I'm just going to point out that the skimmer should be off during feedings of any plankton.

 

you need phyto feast or a similar product. as long as it is live phyto. marinesnow will not cut it.

 

Marine Snow, & Alright does it look like it's PM? or something is bothering it like you said?

 

I have never fed a clam... I have 5 happy and healthy ones too...

 

Yeah this can go for ever I'm not getting into it
EDIT: I have 3 kind of clams Maxima, Crocea & Derasa. Other's are fine only the maxima is acting up

 

That doesn't mean they're not eating. The fact that phyto can be created in a DT/fuge/sump is enough to sustain clams. It's just that you can't necessarily rely on these methods without knowing for sure that your fuge is creating a steady supply of phyto, for instance.

 

To be honest, I can't tell but a fresh water dip is also used to treat pinched mantle sooooo

 

Yeah lol Thanx I'll update tomorrow, I want to see if me moving it up will help.
If not f/w dip it is Thanx K+

 

I don't turn my skimmer off when I feed plankton of any kind. It's not that efflicient.

 

Same here
