I just bought a small blue Maxima  Clam and have it in my 60 gallon display.  This is my first clam.  I know I should have started with a Derasa, but couldn’t resist this beautiful animal.So far it is doing well but I have Bristol worms and a FoxFace in there I'm concerned about.I presently cycling two small tanks I plan to be species specific bare bottom nanos only five gallon each so 100% weekly water changes are feasible.  I have just a few pieces of well established Live Rock with some GSP and Kenya Trees on them.  I plan to keep only clams and sea horses in one and Nems in the other.  Would this be possible and how long would small tanks like these need to cycle if I maintain a five gallon water change on both tanks weekly.   No fish, just clams and ponies, well maybe just one perc in the Nem Tank but none with the clams and horses.  I will post pics later.
