Clam under PC

[critterkeeper]

And yet again - people saying they're keeping this and that under this and that and everythings great. But when asked to post specific details, I get one person (jovreefer) that gives at least something, and the rest disappear. Same thing happens all the time.

Where'd you go rabidcrab?

Bobbacon, are you starting to see why I'm not ready to start recommending T5s?

Bobbacon is no longer with us:lol: along with a few other fake names he used. Bob first appeared in this thread http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=979591 on the same topic. a week after that thread he bought a 250w MH but just had to keep trolling about how good PC's were for clams

The only strange thing I've seen with this clam is the shell took on a Maxima growth look instead of the smoother crocea look. Dont know if that was somehow due to the PC lighting or what, but even a year later under MH it still has long "scoot" growth.

I've been meaning to get a picture of the growth forever now to show the smooth to ridgid growth... REALLY neat looking, I've had quite a few people comment on it who see it in person.

missed this the first time through

crocea do grow scutes but in the wild they break off when they bore in between rocks and corals. it is normal for tank a raised crocea to have scutes. ( or a wild caught that has been in an aquarium for years )

Well, I wish I would have checked into this clam/lighting topic a little more before I purchased a Crocea. I have a 29g with 2 x 55watt pc's. I am adding 4 x 24 watt t5's with individual reflectors to go with the pc's. So I will have about 210 watts of light over a 29g.I was thinking it would be alright at the bottom of the tank, but after reading this I'm thinking of moving it up to the upper 1/3.

To the people who know...what bulb combo would you recomend for the pc and t5 lights?

I will document results on this forum with data and pics. I am new to reefing and this will be my first clam, so I will be seeking knowledgeable advice. Wish me luck!

Thanks.
