maxima clam

[wrassiecomehome]

hi everyone

I am thinking of buying a 6" blue maxima clam. my tank is 20'x20x20 with a
2" sand bed. it has been running for 4 years. my lighting is 4 -24w reef blue
atinics and 1- 150 watt phoenix 14k.halide.all water parameters are good.
the distance from the light source to the clams mantle is going to be about
17". so my question is if this is enough light to place the clam on small rock
on the substrate. the clam will be 10 degrees off to the side of MH.

any thoughts on this is much appreciated.

Clams are really hardy once they acclimatizing well into your tank.
Your light is sufficient for them as well.

Avoid direct flow on them.
