What clams are a posibility in my tank.

[michaeldaly]

I have a two year old mixed reef and am considering purchasing a clam.

The tank is a 65g ( 4 x 1 x 1 ).

I would like to be able to place the clam on the sand bed, which is 16in below the surface of the water.

My lighting consists of two 150W 14000K BLV halides.

Which species of clam would I be able to keep.

you should be good, only restraint might be tank size as some of these clams get quite large. ( your numbers don't add up 4 x 1 x 1 = 30g )

here is a link to a really good thread on the lighting requirement for the clams generally kept. they also discuss the approximate sizes a little further down the page.

Oops sorry, the correct dimensions are 4 X 1.5 X 1.5
