Hi all.

Wondered are there any clams that can do well under combination of PC (192 Watts) & T5 HO (78 watts) Lighting?

Also what Montipora coral if any would do ok with this lighting?

Thanks !!

Depending on what type of clam, but judging by your sig if you have a 65g, than no. Mh or all T5. Sps also require a great deal of light. The placment of your clam is also critical.

No clams, Monti digi would be worth a try.

Some of the more common montis would definitely work, if kept up high. digis sure, but caps should be OK too.

Clams? No, I would not recommend even the lower-light species, since they're still incredibly demanding.
