can I keep a Maxima Clam?

[MSherman]

Can I keep a Maxima Clam at the top of my tank w/ my lights. I have 4 - 65W (2-10,000K & 2 - combo 10,000K/Actinic) a total of
260W.

I would say no. Maximas likehigh light. I would recommend going to MH before attempting to keep any clam.

I would also say no. Those I've personally seen try it with similar lighting have failed.

I have 130W of PCs over my 10g. I have kept a my blue maxima for 3 years very successfully (1.5'' to nearly 4'') That is half the light you have with a fraction of the surface area (this is on a 10g! tank remember). I would say no as well.
