I guess the tank itself would be hard to find, it's not really a standard thing although it wouldn't be hard to fabricate so you could either get a custom builder or do it yourself (glass or acrylic).

You can see an example of what I'm talking about in the picture on the top of the wetwebmedia tridacnid FAQ page. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/tridacsysfaqs.htm

If I ever made a "clam specific" tank or refugium one day that's what I'd want to do.

they just built a new petsmart here in regina, and that's how all their tanks are displayed. pretty neat idea
