Dude the suspense! Can't wait. Love the videos man. Keep em coming
Man! The last few seconds got me right in the feels. I love love.
Wish that I had a store like that near me. Also I hope that we get to see an update on the 10 gallon soon.
Great video. Appreciate you getting some insight on the clams. Can't wait to see the next video. Hope you're having a great day!
Awsome!! Can't wait to see the video!!
Wow - To be Continued! Can't wait!
Love the clam tips!
I love you videos you have such a positive vibe 👌🏻
im super exited for the next video
Awesome video brother! Thanks for the content, you’ve helped me more than you know 🤘
Wooooahhh...very informative video man!!
This was the most helpful video iv found thank you
Aww, I don't wanna wait. 😎👍
Hey man super fantastic video and all corals too........
Amazing varieties of clams bro
Your editing has become soooo good lately
Thank you for your kind words! I guess editing is slowly becoming a second hobby, lol! Really wish I could have more time to dedicate to each video though... I could only get ~50% of what I wanted to do into each video due to time constraint. =/

@@serkanonf Good eye, I think you may be the only person that caught it, lol
@@InappropriateReefer Nope I caught it too it was smooth but the camera handoff was shaky but added to the realism. I was just wondering WHO was holding it heheeheh. Moki what is the Filter that you are using for the camera? Yours is magnetic?
@@TRSCAquatics That's MightyNanoTank behind the camera ;-) Actually his idea as well to try this here! Yep since I have a P&S with no filter thread, I am using this: amzn.to/2Td5kVm one of the best investments!
Great video
I need to get a clam one day.
Well it’s 2021 and what made me stop and think for a bit was when you were looking at the tank by the window saying how nice it looked but then again in my eyes your tank looks way better .thanks for all your videos .Watching your videos from Los Angeles
Gorgeous carpet
Great to hear from a LFS experience since not many of the Rochester Stores get any large clams. I think I agree from my clam gluttony these last few months that the quick acclimation worked best vs the drip acclimation. Yet getting stuff shipped makes it harder still so if you find some locally that's been in the tanks for a little bit you're lucky. Most LFS don't bother feeding so that's a possible risk too. I was told the larger clams are sold cheaper as food grade compared to the small ones are considered ornamental and charged more.
That's actually super interesting, regarding the larger clams being sold as food grade. I remember hearing that in Japan some restaurants serve these live giant clams as food... the customers would pick one out and the chef would prepare it right away. Just reading this second hand though so I am not sure how true it is, but hey, I believe it since parts of the world eat these!
Awesome video 🙌🏻
I really dig how he’s using T5 over LEDs. I just made the switch back. I realize now how much I really enjoyed the proven light sources.
Oh my goodness!!!! They paired?! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes sir!! Now I am bombing the tank with food to make sure they do well
Nice video enjoyed watching. Will look forward to the next update :)
Wooo, someone which a Peter Mckenon camera trick ;)
You know what is funny... i just bought my first clam in more then 15 year today :D Sweet video ;)
And congrats dad.
BOGOS cliff hanger bro !!!! na love it keep it up .
Thanks Randy!! The next one is going to be very cool!
Really great video. I notice a lot of T5’s in that shop. I’m close. Enjoyed it 🔥🔥
Nice find 👍🏾👍🏾
this place is only 5 minutes away from me lol love it great video
Man this video really makes me appreciate my lfs and its prices lol
Nice fish tank is looking good
Stoked you got the yasha - good stuff - I think that $150 maxima was AMAZING - such great colors - can't believe it was left behind. I would have got it and eventually moved it into the new bigger (150) tank ;)
They had 2 or 3 times more a few days ago, wish I dropped by earlier!!
Noooooo the end i wanna see i wanna see right now(in my most spoiled brat voice)lol😹😹😹. Them clams look awesome
LOL!! It will be worth the wait! ☺ Yeah man, it was tough peeling myself away from the frag tank there...
Good job IR! Making some good content!
Thank you for watching my nutty friend!
Hahahaha the screams at the end
Great video bro 👊 man I wish you picked up that clam. If I find any nice ones I'll let you know. Can't wait to see the next video 👍
It certainly was tough walking away from that clam! Hope I could live vicariously through your purchase in the future!
Holy crap Mokyi that build up at the end!!!
😇🙏
The west coast needs some more reef stores
WHat! where u live?
I'd have picked a little baby clam
Oh, sounds like sexy fish things happened lol.... can't wait for the update
Those clams are HUGE! If I was let loose in that store my life savings would be gone in 15 mins xD
Yeah man, good thing I'm pretty poor, otherwise I'd be coming home with maybe not one, but two or three of these big fellas, lol!
I was there last Saturday - those clams look awesome but not ready to take the leap yet. I bought a pair of Darwin clowns for my 60 gallon.
HAH! I got behind watching videos and the goby one is out, so I’m heading over to watch it right n..........💨
I think soon you will have a dedicated clam tank only. Good show.
Nice video , I just pick up a 3-1/2 ,4 inch clam yesterday , goldish green mantel
That's a nice size, good luck with your pick up!
@@InappropriateReefer how often do you target feed yours?
thoses clams look amazing i'll be picking up a wyoming white clownfish hopefully this tuesday for my 10 gallon nano
It was veryyyyy tempting
Hello inappropriate reefer I love your channel been inspired so much and next time I would create my own saltwater tank next time when my channel is bigger already.I love your video about mochi and condolence what happened to him.I hope you would get another frogfish and make you happy again.😀Your room is so cool full of saltwater aquariums and I really love animals.
Thank you for your kind words, looks like you are already well on your way to be a great vlogger! I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your future updates... maybe there will be a reef tank in your future. ;-)
Your camera loves the t5 reflection
It's killing me, lol. Need a uv polarizer lens!
@@InappropriateReefer I've got the same problem on my tank, does the polarized help?
Mennnnn I want to see more
I was gonna check this store out this weekend. But then Fintastic had a two for one deal going on.
Both great stores, can't argue with two for one deal!!
Can u talk about dips for clams? Like what to do. thanks
Second, Great Video!!
Hold on, you haven't watched it yet, lol!
@@InappropriateReefer I already knew it would be good, and it was
My last clam purchase was a 7 inch clam for 125 bucks. It was a Tahitian blue maxima and lasted for almost 6 months before my leds bleached the mantel and killed it.
Do clams really need that high of a light or will they just be Happy on the corners of my sandbed
Bivalves are awesome 😎👍. What do you think of tunicates?
Awesome creatures, used to have a lot of orange ones locally but I hardly see them now. Would not mind adding 1 or 2 larger ones to my tank, and some colonial ones.
Dude shout out from rockville
What's up my local reefer!
Will a clam do good in a 13.5 evo with only weekly water changes
The coral u were looking at reminds me of MINI TORCH coral. Maybe thats what it is
What bulb combination are the t5’s over the clams?
The small maxima clam at the front door.. is that count as gapping clam??
Do live in the North? Because I live in Florida and the prices in Florida are soooo much cheaper! I live in Orlando and go to World Wide Corals their prices are half that. Just curious.
Love the accent and the enthusiasm are you Japanese American?
👀👀👀👀🔥🔥🔥🔥
GODFATHER! 🙏
CJ you tempted to get back in the game?!?!?
Itch will be scratched soon.... 😎
Those clams are better than awesome but personally I've kinda given up on clams because every time I take one back it dies after some time. (I've tried two so far) I think I would need to start a separate tank that's completely clean. I'm guessing that since i'm getting them from the ocean, I must either have something in my system that predates on them or I'm bringing them in with parasites on them and in a closed system they can't defend themselves against the predators. Either predatory snails or worms or both - not sure what happened.
Good vid!! Waiting for the follow up.
I feel your frustration as I have lost quite a few clams as well.. are the ones you bring back pretty large? Did they expire right away or lived for awhile? Curious if there's a pattern.
@@InappropriateReefer They were both what I would call medium sized (derasa clams) based on other clams in the area. They were about 4.5" (the first one slightly smaller). The first one lived for about 2 months and the 2nd lasted for almost 6 months. Whatever attacked them went in by the foot. I suspect snails. I wonder if there's a way to safely seal the foot of a younger clam without harming it? That way it would be safe.
Where can I buy those bowls that the clams are in??
Hey 'IR', quick question. I'm just starting out and got a red/orange Monti cap under Hydra 52HDs but the frags have turned a uniform pink. Have you seen this before. Even in lower par same thing. Any tips? (How much PAR?)
Hey man, I understand that water too clean may also result in pale corals; how is your Nitrate & Phosphate looking?
@@InappropriateReefer phosphates are 0.04 and nitrates are at 10. Which is why I wonder about light. A - 8.5, C- 440, M-1400.
So I’m confused so you don’t drip you’re clams only temperature acclimate them because of the lower ph, I’ve always been told to do a slow drip process
Nice video. Has miss average reefer got into youtube yet ? maybe a tank update for her would be cool ?
No luck, she is adamant about not showing up in front of the camera, claiming she wouldn't know what to say, lol! I will see about a tank update...!
Ever hear of SBreeflights? Their 800+gallon display tank has the largest maxima clam I have ever seen. Easily over a foot!
I have not but now I gotta check them out!!
Not sure what he said rock flower Anemones eat never had bad experience with them
Nice interior of your car. What car do you have
Got a 2013 BMW 328i, pushing 100K miles with 0 issue!
choices choices, I chose a rainbow monti at my LFS
Can't go wrong with that!
Where is blue ribbon at im from baltimore is it close
Wait is that in HKD or USD?
😁🤘🐠
You should've gone to the Philippines to buy clams 😂 I bought this massive blue maxima (around 9 inches) for only $50 (regular price) 😉
Unfortunately it died a year later. Its mantle wasn't extending. I checked my water and it was fine. I then saw my problem... My cleaner wrasse started picking on the mantle. I immediately removed the wrasse, but by that time it was already too late ☹
OK, dang!!
"Green hairy thing" may be an Elegance or a Torch coral
Where is part 2 of this video?
Whats a good online company to get clams from???
4:35 looks like a dying torch?😱
Maxima jooooon

no answer to my broll challenge?
Hey man! Just catching up on the b-roll challenge FB group, I will sadly have to pass on the challenge for now as I get ready for the big day, if the challenge is still making it's round after May, I will see if I can hop back in!!
Least you replied. I appreciate what you do for our hobby, can I please have a mini shout out in your next video.
WHERES THE NEXT VIDEO!!! XD
0:42 I thought he was holding the camera,my life is a lie
Lost mine on Friday. Developed pinched mantle and woke up and dead. Oh, and that wall hammer melted :(. But I don’t think they were healthy to begin with. Just be careful what you but!
Sorry to hear this Michael... I'm very nervous about pinched mantle as well =/
Thanks bud, I appreciate it. It was sad to see him dead. But I firmly believe that if the animal isn’t healthy when we get it, the chances of survival are minimal. And clams show little signs of distress too.
I wish you luck my friend, and if you are ever in Arizona I’ll show you around!
Hey.... nice clams where’s that place located at ? Can you send me the address ? Thanks
Of course, it's called Blue Ribbon Aquatics (Used to be called Blue Ribbon Koi), address is: 4641 Sudley Rd, Catharpin, VA 20143
Inappropriate Reefer thanks
Nooooo why did you have to do this to us. No wonder people in the comments where like”nooo “ as well 👍🏻
Sorry Alexander!! 😅😅😅
that was a weird looking coral the one in the middle
Guessing Green Hair Mushroom
@@InappropriateReefer I dont think a green hair mushroom is different
didn't you have your clowns eaten later by a rock anemone? that guy warned you!
So much cheaper than the uk :,(
Am i first (:
Very close! Appreciate your support non-the-less!
