Tridacna squamosa, Tridacna derasa - can i keep these?

[motlot77]

with pc lighting - 2 65w (1 10k, 1 actinic)

i really like these clams but not sure of my lighting. the website i found them on only said lower light levels and they like being on the sand.

No, they will die with that much light.
They are saying a lower amount of light compared to other clams, such as Metal halides (150w-400w)

I am going to have to agree with fanaglethbagle. You will not have long term success with these clams if you try them because this lighting is not strong enough. You may get them to live a few months but ultimately you not get them to live long.

that sucks thats exactly what i have too. what if the depth of the tank is lower? like lets say about 10" from lights?
