Tank Update 7/6/2010
Tank Update 7/6/2010
Picked up a new light, as I found the dual T5 weren't cutting it. Is it just me, or do you spend alot of this hobby, searching for better equipment?? lol So the new light, I don't know who manufactures it, or if it was somebodies DIY project... But it is a 14k 150 watt MH with dual T8, so much better than just the T5. The clam is doing very well, had to move him down after I installed this light.... Re-arranged the rocks...never ending aqua scapping....lol Here is a pic of the new light...  Picked up some new frags as well 1 small colony rock with the golden eye, green, and some green button paly's and Green Star Polyps. Here are some new pics of the frags:

It looks like your clam needs to be higher up and closer to the lights. You said it's a dual T5HO fixture? What bulbs are you running? If it's one daylight and one actinic, you need to pull the actinic out and get a bulb with better PAR rating. If you want to replace with a bluer bulb, I'd suggest either a UVL Super Actinic, or an Aquascience 22K bulb (or similar). Up a few posts back the clam was about the middle of the tank with its mantle open but was looking a little brown. I'm thinking that your lights are powerful enough pending that the clam is higher still in the tank.

Hi Mikey,
Thanks for your concern and your advice I would have followed, if I still had the T5's. I actual switched out the T5HO for 14k 150 watt MH with dual T8 (Fiji Purple) I moved the clam back down, because with the MH it was closed all the time, since moving it, it stays open all the time now. I will post new pictures tomorrow afternoon, since it is about time for and update. -Jeff
