ordered a squamosa clam off of divers den and currently have 192 watts of PC lighting on my 40 gallon breeder tank...is this enough lighting to keep the clam healthy for a few months until I upgrade or do I need the T5 now?

your two 96watt pc's side by side is really on the low side but will do, however i wouldn't wait too long and don't skimp on the quality of ind. t5 reflectors.
my then ~3"squamosa did fine under 6 zoomed 48" 32w. NO t8's on a 4" dsb in a 18"Dx18"W tank for over a year prior to the current t5 setup. it's shell is now ~11".
