clam question

[civic]

i have wanted a clam for a long time now and just wondering what kind of clam would be good to start off with thanks

[fishcop]

What kind of lights do you have? How deep is your tank?

If you're planning on putting a clam under the 96W PC light that you got from me, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There a good article on nano-reef.com about lighting for clams.

Here's the link:

its for my bigger tank its 20" deep and am running a 250 watt de mh 2 65 watt pc lights

Wow. How long has the tank been running? As long as it's been about 6 months and you have good calcium levels, I think you can put any clam in there you want. Either Crocea or Maxima. Though, like I said, you can put whatever you want in it.

my big tank has been running for about a year now and i have had no problems with it thanks for the help

As Mikey said you should be able to have what ever clam you wish, good luck, I love my crocea clam and might get some more.
