Cody Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 ok im wondering how much lighting ill need to retrofit if i want a crocea or maybe a maxima in the 24 gallon nano cube. it comes standard with 72 watts so that 3 wpg. THANX:P Link to comment
ed212 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have a 25g nano w/ 130w pc, and I put my 4" derasa and 4" squamosa at the bottom of my tank, and they seems very happy and the colour seems even brighter then when I first got them from liveaquaria about 1 month ago. and I feed them everyday w/ plankton. happy clam keeping.

Withers Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 crocea's and maxima's are the highest light demanding clams that you can buy, i wouldn't recommend anything less than a 150 watt MH system for them. with a squammy or derasa you could get away with PC's, but i'd say that having clams in a nano is already pushing the boundry of your clams being happy and barely surviving...

zzpw3x Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I think a crocea is about the only nano appropriate clmm available due to their 6-7" max size. However, as Vic said, the require MH lighting. Derasa's and Squamosa's both get too large for nanos. Dale Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 MUCH to large... either one of those two have been known to outgrow 55's/75's. Link to comment
