Jumping on with a question of my own; Can clams be kept under T5's?

Mitch, you can keep anything you want under t-5 lights (4x or more bulbs) as long as you watch your placement. Light hungry animals closer to the top in deep tanks (24").

Ok. I only have two over my 23.8G though so should I watch where I put thing then?

yes, i have many clams under t-5s. naturally, you need enough light regardless of what type of lighting you have, but yes, i keep clams, acropora, and anemones under t-5 lighting.
crocea clams are the most light demanding of clams FYI.

Mr. x, Welcome. I remember you from Renegade reefer. I greatly enjoyed reading your post there as I surely will here.

 

[Mitchell0605]

Yes but they don't get huge which means, even though they need the most light, you don't have to worry about their size. Although I guess with the slow growth rate of clams, you don't have to worry anyway.
