can I get a clam in a 29g w/ 130w pc?

Is it possible or should I just upgrade my lights?

Yes, but it depends on the species.....
...just wait a lil bit for Peabody to get here, "If you have to ask..." right

Derasa, Squamosa, and Hippopus, and maybe maximas could be kept with your system (gigas get huge)....but prevailing current wisdom is certainly against croceas under 130W PC

You'll probably be much happier in the long run if you just upgrade to a nice 250MH set up (assuming you want to make croceas and maximas happy), then you can keep whatever you want no questions asked...If you have a nice softie set up and just want any clam then leave your lights alone and get a derasa or squamosa...just my $.02
