    So I was digging around in the Grove & Platt tank today and when I got done and was wiping down the front glass I noticed the Deresa clam (I think) was really opened up, and I had a view right down inside of through the intake. Got some great phone pics. For reference this opening was over an inch in diameter.

    This one below shows the base of the clam (joint), you can see how open the shell is!

    Well the big red cap died do I was busting it out piece by piece and that stirred up a lot of detritus.
