John is an amazing individual. Not only is he a clam expert but he provides the best customer service I have ever encountered in this industry. We had a shipping hiccup because of weather and despite the UPS delay, John worked hard every step to get this resolved as quickly as possible. The clams not only still arrived in great shape, but they are the most amazing specimens he sent. I can not say enough great things about clammania with a higher endorsement. I will not buy clams from anyone else.

Great topic. Ryan isn't the only one who knows little about these beautiful animals, he's in good company and a large crowd on this topic. I found myself taking notes in the first two minutes. Very helpful discussion, thank you!

James Fatheree's tridacnid clam book is by far the best resource and dispels a huge number of myths in the hobby. It's the price of a frag, but you'll likely save the life of your animals. I've been in the hobby for 25+ years but I hadn't kept a clam successfully (e.g. over a year, even under metal halides) until after reading this book.

I love how he mentioned Nori at 16:40 that it is a natural source of trace elements. Rather than using all these trace additives i just now use Nori everyday for my tangs. And my reef looks better!

Fantastic video. I have been keeping clams for many years, I have always supplemented with natural sunlight and have never directly fed them and they have always thrived in my tanks. It’s extremely encouraging to see this video with actual accurate information.

Great talk with a guest that has a huge personality! I learned and it was informative. But when he put that clam on the table and said it has to sit until Ryan stops talking (lol) was funny. I have. ZeroEdge ZR-22 and the look down on my clams is unreal

Might get another tomorrow, this one attached its foot/tongue/bissal threads within a few hours. I hope to see more people keeping clams. Thanks for the knowledge, John! (and the clam)

Could you do a video on clam disease and treatment? I’ve been reading about pinched mantle. I had a maxi for several months. I added a second one same size about 4inch. The second clam I added is all retracted looks dead, but shell shuts tightly when I pick it up.

I kept an 8in clam for 18months,,, water change of 15% every 2 weeks and the other 2 wks was pre ocean ocean water. My Marisla spewed eggs every time i violently dumped real sea water in the tank.

@unclecharlie9022 I figured that might happen. Mostly out of curiosity to see them slowly grow out. I’m afraid of having them slowly rot under the substrate and messing things up with an ammonia spike. Not sure how hardy they are.

Unfortunately, I feel like this is what happens as you proceed in the hobby as well as other KZfaq reefing channels. The “low hanging fruit” of content has been published already. So it takes increasing effort to bring new exciting content. Perhaps stop comparing to season 1 and just enjoy it or leave it? Otherwise you’re sure to be disappointed.

@TrevorHiller 9 ай бұрын

Personally I gained more knowledge from this than a tour of a tricked out reef tank with every piece of equipment in the hobby, but everyone has their own expectations and perceptions. I don’t think season two has the same excitement because our perspectives have changed-ie. more experience. Unfortunately revolutionary breakthroughs don’t happen every week in this hobby so I think we may need to temper our expectations. Calling this series BRS Season 2 was probably a mistake in hindsight. If this video was published on its own, I doubt it would have the same criticism.
