![]() Yes it's a Tek fixture. Thanks for all the input guys. My tank isn't even set up yet but I'm already planning for what I want to keep. I don't plan to introduce any clams for at least a year, and I will go with one of the less light-hungry captive-bred ones. Any recommendations as to where I should purchase them? I'm in northern BC and will need to have them shipped to me.

![]() Hidden Reef, OA & J&L all ship. Finding a clam (Derasa or Squamosa) is going to be the harder part.

![]() Just want to add my experience with T5 and Crocea Clams. I switched out my dual 150W DE MH lights 2 months ago and replaced it with a nice 5x39W T5 fixture in my 38G tank. I first lost my oldest (approx 6 years) Vietnam Crocea a couple of weeks ago. This week, I lost both of my Ultra Clams (approx 4 years). So sad. Not much has changed in the past 2 months in my tank other than the lighting. All other livestock are well and thriving.

![]() I have a Tek 6x54W and a crocea clam. The color has faded a bit but the clam is doing good. I've had it for 6 months now. Just changed my bulbs so I'm curious to see what happens to the coloring.

![]() I keep a Crocea 24" deep in my tank. He has been in there for a couple months now with no issues.
Lighting is as follows 4-24W T5HO 2 KZ Fiji Purple, 1 Blue+, 1 ATI White Actinic. I would like to add another 10K and remove one of the Purples. |
