Here is why clams are better kept in an open top tank. The top half of this picture is a clam viewed over the top of the glass. The bottom half is the same clam viewed through the glass. You can't see any of the greens when looking through glass. Florescent blues look dull purple through glass.

I was having problems with my light (ballast and bulbs) and found it wasn't intense enough for the clams so I upgraded the light over my shallow tank from the Viper 70 to a 250 watt metal halide. The light is too intense for the zoas and mushrooms I had in there so I did some major rearranging. Here's what the three tanks look like now.




some closeups
