enough light?

[iLLwiLL]

I have a 150 setup and eventually would really like to add a clam or 2. for lighting I have 320 watts of VHO and 384 watts of PC. Is this enough for any clams? if so what should I start looking into?

Thanks.

It should be enough for a derasa, squamosa, or gigas. Depending on how tall the tank is I would probably keep them up on the rocks. What bulbs are you running?

You may be able to get away with it, but it won't be the best situation for the clams at all. On a 150, you really should have at least 8 T5's or 3 metal halides. Lighting is the most expensive investment in this hobby.

plus derasas want to be in the substrate, sorry ifbettas.

I got 18" from the top of the sand bed to the waterline, and the lights are 8" from the water surface. For PC bulbs there is 2 daylight 10000k, and 2 blue actinic's. For VHO there is an actinic white and 460 actinic blue.
