clams w/ VHO light

[wastedincome]

I want to be able to keep some clams in my new tank(not setup yet) The tank is a Oceanic 105g 60"L x 18"W x 24" Tall. I will have a 4-6" DSB so that should bring the depth to the sand bed to 18-20".
I have 2 IceCap 660's and was thinking of using 6 60"140w URI VHO bulbs which would give a total of 840w....... If I can cram another bulb or two I will (whick would then put the wattage over 1000w) So what do ya guys think????

IMO it's not the wattage but the intensity of the bulb.

Toptank is right. But you do have alot of vhos what type of clams are you considering?

well after thinking about it for a while I think that I will just "bite the bullet" and have MH (2 150wHQI's) along with the VHO's.
