Would like to get a clam someday

[mehg35]

I am setting up a reef tank (my first). I like the looks of clams and would like to have one or two. The light that I have for my 55 gal will be enough for them, not sure what kind I would get. The light I have are 2 150hqi's with 2 55 watt pc antics. Curently I don't have any water in the tank just getting info for the future. Thanks for any insite that you could give.

Sounds like a clam tank to me. But then again, any tank with enough light does.

just remember that clams need to be in a well established tank so i would wait awhile before putting one in. clams are the best and i wish i could buy every clam i see! (especially lebowski's teardrop!!!!)

also if you think you want clams, get daniel knopps book on clams and read it about ten times. it is a great source of info for clam keepers. good luck!

mehg35, nice pics of tank, sump/fuge and stand. What brand are these?

The tank is a sea clear. The rest of the things I made my self. Saved some money because I already had the wood. Hade to buy a tool that I always wanted through. So I didn't really save any money on the stand.
