Ok, I have a 55 gallon tank, with a refugium underneath. It has been up for 20 months now. Inhabitants are a small (2") yellow tang (he will go to a bigger home when he grows up), an ORA clownfish, and a female mandarin (about an 1.5" long). The tank has a 5 inch DSB, and an ecosystem filter with caulerpa in the sump. There is about 150 lbs of live rock in the main tank. This is a skimmerless tank with 480 watts of URI VHO's and 2 10k 175 watt Ushio's (total of 790 watts on a 55). The only dosed chemical is B-ionic by ESV. There are plenty of pods and mini-stars and bristle worms everywhere. For corals, I have everything from mushrooms, ricordia, yellow and button polyps, green and pink star polyps, clove polyps, colt coral, leather, candy cane, pagoda (had over 12 months, great growth), a galaxia, a large octobubble, an anchor, an elegance, a moon, and about 10 different types of SPS corals. Everything grows great (the SPS grow more than any other).
I am highly interested in getting a clam, but only have room for 1, and want to make the right choice. What choices are possible with the above system? From the pictures I love the colors of the maxima or crocea clams, but I don't want to buy something my tank cannot support. Thanks in advance for your advice.
