I have never tried to keep clams before but I have always wanted to try. With my new tank set up I think I will be giving it a go but need some advice first.
First off I'm interested in Crocea clams because they have a great range of colors and smaller size. Is this a good choice for a first timer?
Second thing is lighting: I have a 4 bulb 24 watt t5ho fixture over my 29 gallon tank that is 18 inches deep. Is this enough light for these clams to be placed on the sand bed? Is there a good combo of bulbs that will help make it easier to keep clams? Right now I'm running 2 ati coral plus and 2 actinics.
Third is fish: The only fish in the tank right now is a tail spot blenny. I'm planning on adding 2 or 3 more. Any kind of fish I need to avoid besides angels?
Since it is a newer tank I'm not going to be adding a clam for a while, (probably after the first of the year) to let the tank get settled in and balance itself out.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
