Ok, now that I am pouring every spare cent into converting my 120 gal into a reef (I hope my son doesn't want to go to university) I have decided that I would like a clam as well...
I have the 24" deep 120gal and 2x175w MH lights. Can anyone tell me what clams I can keep and where I can pick them up. All I have seen over the last couple of months are Maximas and I think I would need 250s for those. As all I have picked up are frags, I have a lot of space either on the sandbed or high up in the rock. Thanks in advance for any help! |

Squamosas seem to be available fairly frequently, and are lower light requiring. Derasas are too, but not so available. Gigas are rare & get insanely big if they survive.

If you like Maximas,you can get one and put it in your rocks up high closer to your light.

With 175's your probably not going to get the color your looking for with maximas and croceas but derasas and squamosas should be fine.

Actually, I just phoned OA to find out if they had any. Ok, due to everyone's suggestion I will plunge into the clam world and add a squamosa to my tank. I figure that if I am feeding my corals I might as well feed a clam.
Thanks for the help! |
