Dominic,
There are so many ways to set up a clam tank. I personally have six. Each different of one another. But IMO yes using your tank with good lighting and skimmer is really not needed you can have a good tank for clams. You do not need a sump. There are several other factors needed to put this off. Like: water flow, feeding of the clams, fish, liverock, height of tank (do you want to look down on the clams which is the best way). And many more. But clams are really GREAT!
