Tank Size: 48 x 24 x 25 High

Maxima Clam Placement: On The Sand

Lights: 2 x Radion Pro LED (10 hour light cycle)

I have several Maxima Clams that appear to be doing very well with my lights running full spectrum (all channels turned up 100%) @ 80% power. I would like to switch to the 20K spectrum. Is the 20K spectrum @ 80% enough light for the clams. Should I push it to 100%? Is 20K not the best spectrum for clams? If you have LED lighting, what LED color spectrum are you using and how is it working for you?
