How much par for a clam?

How much par is needed to sustain a clam?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Depended on what type you're getting, clams need moderate (150+ par) to high (250+ par)

Perfect. Thanks!

I have always had good luck in the 200 to 300 par.

I have 3 Maximas doing great at 160-180 under T5

Depending on what species of clam and type of lighting, length of photoperiod, clams can do well in multiple par variations. No set number of par when it comes to clams. Variables like flow, positioning on the rock work or sand bed are equally important when it comes to clams. My favorite reef animal.

The best is always to have the mindset - as much as possible, preferrably even more.
