n00b Question?

[Mark_OR]

I was just curious if my set-up will suit a clam, and what you experts would reccomend for my tank? I don't plan on adding the clam for a long time, I want all my peramiters to be perfect before I do so.

My set up is as follows:

DIY 69gal (40"x20"x20")
DIY 56gal sump/fuge (34"x24"x16")
Dual 400w Iwasaki's
4 - 96w actinic PC's
Dual Mag 5 closed loop
Mag 7 return fed through a .5" SeaSwirl
1-2" sand bed in the main tank
4" DSB in the fuge
EuroReef CS6-2+ skimmer
AquaClear 300 (just a sponge for mechanical filtration)

I'm still not exactly sure how much LR I'm gonna have, so I'll leave that part out.

If there is anything else you need to know, I will be happy to tell you.

Thanks

Mark

Equipment wise its fine. You got good lighting as well. Actually the lighting is excellent. 6.5K Kelvin wll produce awesome growth for the clams.

I would add about 1lb of rock per gallon for the main tank at least. The more you can add the better (to a point). You dont want so much rock crammed in as well. So use your judgment.

Sounds good to me. Only thing I may worry about is heat issues from those halides. I would think about that one.
