Maxima clams

[Jrod381]

Hello all, I’ve never had a clam in any of my tanks and I’m considering one. I’ve read that clams like high nutrient tanks and intense lighting.

My current tank on the sand bed is about 90-170 par in various locations. Will this be enough light intensity?

p4 is at 0.03 and no3 is 10 is this sufficient nutrients?

I also have a green coris, adult red coris and Timor wrasseand a pyramid butterfly and coed and will the clam be safe around these fish?

I don’t feed clamshells in the tank but it is mixed in with the food.

I like to keep my clams, all the species, at higher PAR. 300+.
There is a new book by James Fatheree, in it he collect data of how much light reefers keep their clams under. You may want to look it up.
