Toothpik Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 what is a low light clam that can go under 80 watts of CPF...noobish question sorry Link to comment
brian92 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 No you would want to upgrade your lighting for any clam you would want to keep in a nano reef It might suffice for a larger type clam Heres a good guide http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114475 Link to comment
chazde3 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I've heard of Squamosa under that amount of light, but I'm not sure they would thrive. Link to comment
Toothpik Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ive read the guide and it says the chances are far between few so i was thinkin there might be some low light clams lol i mean it wouldnt hurt to ask right? Link to comment
filefish949 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 you might try a flame scallop, but you have to feed them Link to comment
Toothpik Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 arent they toxic and hard to keep? Link to comment
DCG1286 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Clam...MH...or really good T-5 (w/ individual reflectors) Don't take any chances...not worth the money (which may just go down the toilet bowl...literally...Flame scallops...i have heard varying things on them...some have had luck...and some well...they just die everytime...I have never kept one in all honesty...never had the desire...but they sure are beautiful. -DCG Link to comment

Flame scallops do not need any light clams are high demand inhabitants, they need LOTS of light and LOTS of calcium and alkalinity, and when they die they die over a few agonising days, if you do not pull the plug right away, they can foul your whole tank and cause a crash Link to comment
