My clams have grown very fast under DIY led

Not always the light with clams...calcium is key. Mine grew the same rate with MH as they did with LEDs

Yes clams are very interesting. A few years ago I read they like Blue light and high nitrogen levels as well as higher calcium levels than most corals. Suposedly the optomium conditions for speedy clam growth would kill many corals.

Cheers for replies - will keep an extra beady eye out for calc/alk. then.
