20L croacea

[cam9457]

I have a 20L with one 150 hqi 14k and two 24" vho bulbs, one '03 actinic and one 10k all about 7" off the water surface. My question is how high in the tank should the clam be? The tank is about 16" deep. Thanks in advance

Oh, it's a croacea about 3-4"

The clam would likely be fine anywhere in the vertical sense....it would be in his best interest for him to be directly under the MH bulb though...good luck!

Update: my clam keeps jumping to the bottom of the tank, Is mid level too much light for him? Oh, I didn't know clams could jump!

I would say high directly under light. Croceas will attach readily when they find their spot.

ADS, he really seems to want to be at the bottom. I've had him for 4 days now and the holding tank he came from had a shallow depth with 5-6 vho tubes over him, no halide. should I move him to the top of the tank still?

 

[Peabody]

No, probably let him stay on the sand for a while, right under the halide. He will adjust.
