I sure hope your water isnt actually 82C!

I have two, a maxima and a crocea. They live under 400w MH, 14k and 10k respectively. The maxima is just off the sandbed and the crocea is about 6"-7" below the surface more so under the 10k light right now.
I don't feed regularly, on occasion I will dose phyto, but I honestly see very little change or impact hence why I no longer dose phyto religiously.
Tank is 0.025 for salinity, it runs between 78-83 for temp, and Ca levels are approx 440 and I usually try to keep the alk at around 7-9 dkh as it seems to impact growth.

2-250W 10K, 2-250W 14K, 4-T5 54W all Sun Aquatics

3-Location in tank
24" deep on sand bed

4-Feeding Schedule
whatever I feed the tank

5-Water Perameters-Salinity,Temperature, Calcium levels
1.025, 78-80 F, 400 - 430 ppm Ca

[Funky_Fish14]

1-Species

1 Crocea(4" shell, 5" mantle), 1 Squamosa(5" shell, 7" mantle)

2-Lighting

Dual 400W SE halides, 10K XM and 20K XM, both mounted 12" above water line

3-Location in tank

Crocea on FSB(faux sand-bed)(20") directly under 20K halide, Squamosa in same location on other side of tank, directly under 10K halide(10K has shorter photoperiod than 20K)

4-Feeding Schedule

Never fed specifically, I dont dose phyto, I believe they might get some of the coral plankton I feed the corals sometimes but I do it in low quantity.

5-Water Perameters-Salinity,Temperature, Calcium levels

Salinity: 1.025 Temp: 79.4F(average, 78 at night, climbs to 80.5 on warm day) Calcium: 380-400ppm

[seashells]

1 Squamosa and 1 green crocea under 2 x 150 hqi.
