Clam tank

[FishGeek]

I need some expierienced opinions. I am contemplating a clam/coral frag growout tank. It would be (l x w x h) 24" x 24" x 12" or 36" x 36" x 12". Lit by 1 400W MH. 4" sugar sand and plumbed with my current tank. The reason the tank would be so short is because I find clams look 1000 times better viewed from above than through glass. The top of the tank would sit about waist height so it can be viewed from above. In the same tank I would grow out corals and it would act as a refugium also as I don't plan on adding fish in here! Well maybe a pair of Bangaii Cardinals. What do you guys and gals think? Am I crazy? Any suggestions? Of coarse I probably wont be able to do this untill after Xmas. So lots of time to plan! I guess I should ask for Daniel KNopps GIant Clam book for X mas then!
