How much lighting and how deep is your tank?

I am guessing his/her tank is 28" tall, and that she/he has the 8x 54w T5 setup. If this is the case, I would say Squamosa, Deresa, Hippopus, and possibly Gigas except for its growth. Or possibly try the more popular Maxima or Crocea if placed higher up in the rockwork.

Hi

the tank is 28" deep and i have arcadia T5s that are a set of 4,
2 blue 2 white the length of the tank , the clam if i have one
again will be about 12" away from the light, first one i had
i put at the bottom of the tank ( was told that would be fine ),
it was a blue maxima i think, he did not last more than a few
weeks im afraid so im looking not to make the same mistakes
thanks for your help.
