I just bought my first clam on monday and i dont think i have enough lighting for it. My lfs said i should have no problem keeping it under the lighting i have, i have bought all my equiptment from them and i dont know why the would sell it to me if i didnt have enough lighting. Right now i have a coralife fixture with 2 96w, a 10000k day and a actinic 03, also 2 led moonlights. My tank is a 38g, 36x12x20, the clam is a crocea an he is about 12" from the light. From what i read here and on clamdirect.com the crocea is the most light needed and requires a MH for sure. Maybe my lfs doesnt know what they are talking about or maybe they are just trying to sell a clam . Im not sure but they have been really good to me about everything else so i have doubt that they would do that. Anyways im just woundering if i will be ok with what i have or if there is any kind of MH light i could add to what i already have without replacing everything. Here is a pic of the clam although its only been about a day since ive had him.
