WOULD I BE ABLE TO KEEP CLAMS, THE TOTAL WATT IS 424 THAT’S LIKE 6 WATTS PER GAL.  |
You can keep softies and LPS corals with PC lighting. I would definitely say no to clams.. they require as much light as possible, and PC's just don't cut it. I would stick to LPS and softies, nothing more. JMO. Not that you want to hear it now, but you should have just saved yourself the time and money and went with Metal Halide lighting. If you want to keep clams, that's the lighting you'll need. It's unfortunate , but PC's will not keep a clam alive and thriving. I would have went with halides, because it sounds like you know what you want to keep coral wise.. anyways, good luck.
