lighting for squamosa

[SNAKEMANVET]

I have a 120 4x2x2, with a sun supply 6x54.The light fixture is approx 5'' from the water.Currently running 2 actenics and 4 10ks.Would this be enough light for the clam. Thanks David

that would be fine. squamosa clams are one of the clams that need less light than the crocea or maxima. squamosa's like to be kept in the sandbed. keep in ming that they get pretty big. about a foot and a half. so make sure you have sufficient room for it to grow.

Yep, I think you'll be fine too.

Its on the low side but it can be done depends on the clam really My 135 had 1135W and mysquamosa did fine.just depends on the clam.
