About 3 weeks ago i bought this baby maxima. I am aware of all the difficulties in keeping a small clam. He is approx 2" in size & would like your opinion if its doing ok. The only thing i noticed that his colors are fading some. He is under 2 70watt ushio mh bulbs and 2 36 watt pc actinic. Approx 13.5 inches from the bulbs.

The rest of my parameters are ok and the tank has been running for approx 1 year with no problems.

When i brought him home:

Thanks for your thoughts.
 
Probably changing to the lighter color because he isn't getting enough light. I would put him as high as you can in the tank. 70 watts isn't really enough for tridacnid clams.
