I was wondering what they need and what I should look for when buying one.
A squamosa clams is what you need to begin with...Squamosa Clams are relatively hardy and less demanding than most other Tridacna species, and require moderate to intense lighting and good water flow in the home aquarium. Proper water chemistry is very important, and they will thrive when calcium levels of 380- 450 mg/L, alkalinity level of 8-11 dKH, and magnesium level of 1280-1350 ppm are maintained. What type of lighting do you have and what size tank do you have.....here is a pic... of mine...
a 55 gal tank at approx. 20 inches deep with 2 -120 watt led units will work...im guessing you have 2 120 watt units. Are yours dimmable? Mine has 90 degree optics and are mounted 6 inches above the tank...does yours have optics...I have eBay LEDs and a 55 g tank
