Acclimation Guide

Goals for acclimation:

Slowly raise the pH .1 pH for every 20 minutes
Match temperature
Match salinity
Match Ph

Drip acclimation process:

Drip 4+ drops per second or how many drops it takes to raise the Ph .1 in 20 mins. (Example clam package comes in at 7.9ph and your system is at 8.0ph). This should take you 20 mins for acclimation.
Remove water (bring water line to 1” over clam level) Otherwise the extra water dilute every drop
Increase drip speed once you hit 7.8ph. From 7.8 to 8.4 it will take more drops to raise the ph
Continue dripping and continue taking water out of the container until the pH, salinity, temperature matches your system
Use pH probe salinity probe and temperature to make sure everything matches if you have the equipment
Ideally in your acclimation container: have a small heater, a pump, also add airline tubing and a bubbler if you have it, as this will help raise the pH, circulate the flow of water, matches temperature to your system, and bring healthy oxygen into the water.

How to Care for Giant Clams

Explore this guide along with quick videos to better understand how to care for Clams.

Clam PAR (Lighting for Clams)

We recommend for all giant clams, PAR ranges of 100 - 450 PAR

8 - 9 hours at these levels are sufficient
Par = Food!
Clams can adapt to higher PAR, but be careful as you can burn the clams very easily!

Derasa 125 - 400 PAR

Maxima 150 - 300 PAR

Squamosa 150 - 300 PAR

Crocea 225 - 450 PAR

Gigas 100 - 350 PAR

Hippopus 100 - 250 PAR
