crocea dilemma!

[stocker]

I have a 45g tank. 36x24. I had 380w of VHO lighting. Have just recently upgraded to T-5's. My crocea would really open up with my vho's. (had him on a high spot in the tank) now it doesn't seem to open up as much with the T-5's in the same spot. Should I move it down to the bottom of the tank? New lights have only been in for 2-3 weeks.

It's a good idea to acclimate anything to new and more intense lighting.Lights up,clams down,shorter photo period,and some use layers of window screening between the lights and the tank.From the threads I have read,clams are doing very well under T5's.The footprint of your tank is great for a clam tank,and it also must be shallow(about 12"?).This should make a beautiful display.
