[IMAGINEER]

My LFS has a Giant 15" clam , it is beautiful , but what does keeping clams require. MH lighting , I only have t5 and some agressive eels

Any thoughts are appreciated

A clam that size will definatley neeed MH and probally 450 ppm constant calcium. Thats what the gigas clams at my Lfs strive in one is 14-15 inches theother is probally over 20"

I wouldnt try a clam like that without MH and a calcium reactor. MY $ .02
