Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / December 2003Q: Blue Maxima Clam Relocating
i have a 34x34x24 tank with 400watts mh on it now i added a maxima clam, which was placed on a mantal on top the clam kept moving untill it hit the bottom, it was at the bottom at the lfs should i bring it back on top of the mantl or just leeave him be? he's quite open and color is great where he is, i'm planning on adding another 400w in the next month which would be a 20k and a 15k 800watts on 34x34" surface with a 24" depth hows that for lighting? Thanks If it is directly under the 400w you currently have, it will be fine on the substrate.

I doubt you'll need to add 400w more just for that clam. Now if you are only lighting half your tank and have an area that needs another 400w bulb, you can determine if you need it. Do you feed Live Phytoplankton to your tank (for your clam and micro-fauna) every other day? If not, I recommend it.
