I love the idea of a clam tank, but shouldn't it be designed to be viewed top down? Have you considered another light fixture? The tek will cover the entire top but a sleek DE MH pendant wouldn't.

Looks good so far and it is nice to see someone building a very similar tank to mine. You'll be very happy with the layout. It shows off clams so well. I have three tanks side by side and my shallow clam tank is the one people who see the tanks are most interested in.
I agree that a pendent would be a better light fixture choice since at 9 inches deep it will be viewed from above. A fixture in the rim would obstruct the view. My tank is Starphire which is a waste since you never look through the glass.

Off the topic question, where did you get the plastic squares (orange and yellow)?

thanks for the comments everyone.
the light is just a temp. i was thinking a lumen max 3 in the near future.. not sure if i should do a 150W HQI or 175 mogul would like to hear everyones input on this. I wouldnt mind a Giesemann Nova II either.. i think there a bit hard to come by in canada though. the plastic squares i got at princes auto and canadian tire.

Looks great so far. Wow, I have a 12" tall tank (24x24x12) and I thought it was wicked shallow. 9" is just.. wow!
 Lots of advantages to shallow tanks though!
