Clam lighting requirements?

[Reed639]

How much light would you think a squamosa clam needs?
Could I get away with a 4 bulb t5ho light fixture over a 25 gallon (96 watts)

I moved your post to it's own thread as I think you will get more answers.

I think you should have more than enough light for a Squamosa but in a 25g tank a Squamosa will out grow it quickly.

You'd better check on sizes. I think a Crocea would be a better fit for your tank!

How long do you run your lights a day for?

Should be enough light, but as stated above, squamosas grow fairly fast. I'd look into a crocea because they rarely get larger than about 6" while the squamosas and maximas can reach 18 inches and a derasa can grow larger than two feet.
