Hello all,
A month or two back I bought a gaint clam for my aquarium. Due to a imminent change in my aquarium setup I kept it it in my smaller 30 gallan tank. The tank has a hang on back filter and an gen 4 pro xr30 light. It had been doing well. I came back from vacation yesterday and the clam still seemed fine. Tonight it started acting odd. It started opening up, shutting quickly squirting water and closing up. And repeating this cycle every couple minutes. I cant figure out what is wrong or get it to stop. Calcium is high over 500. Alkalinity is 8.4dkh. pH is 8.2. I am checking the other levels now. Nitrate was slightly elevated earlier today but nothing really concerning. There has also been a little spike in algae growth over the last week when I was gone as well. Dont know if its related or not. Any help is greatly appreciated.
