Clam help.

[ReefnLot]

Which clam would do best in a 120 reef with 4 vhos?

 

[D3monic]

how many watts? I would assume maybe a squamosa would do ok up high.

 

[ReefnLot]

I think its a 100 watts each or it might be more ill check to be sure.

 

[Frankie]

Better yet, are these T5's or PC's?

 

[ReefnLot]

T12's.

 

[ReefnLot]

I was thinking of a gigas. I know corcea and maxima need MH. I have two 400w MH but they are not hooked up, the last owner siliconed the damn brackets that hold the t12's and I really dont think soft corals need 800w of light. So im just going to save the 400's for my next tank in a year or so.

IMO not enough light for a clam.
Generally a 120 is 4 ft and I believe 4ft t5s are 54 w. If my assumptions are correct, then I vote no.

You know ill see how it does with the lighting right now. If it doesnt seem to like it then I would add 1 MH...

 

[ReefnLot]
