Clam Experts BB and flow ok

[bond007069]

Would a clam be ok in a 120 Gallon with 500 watts of MH, and 440 watts of VHO actinics. Barebottom tank, sps and lsp. With lots of flow.

Any recommendations on the type of clam?

a clam would do fine there as long you can find a spot that its not getting blasted with flow.as for what kind? where did you want to put it?

 

[bond007069]

on the floor 24 inches down from the top, or just slightly elevated about 20 inches down

on the bottom,a Derasa,up in the rocks a Maxima or Crocea.

There's no sand...so it wouldn't matter IMO...your gonna want to put any clam on a flat rubble rock or shell or something before you put it on the BB so you can move it...in which case a maxima or crocea wouldn't know the difference.

How many examples do you want () : )

If your lighting is not 20K and the lamps are not 3 feet above the tank you should be fine IMO. I wouldn't put it in a shadow under the brace though.

If you can put your acro frags down there and have them grow then a maxima will too IMO.
