I want HO T5 lights.. good review on these.

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=23758

For my budget at this time, this is the way I am going with- 48" 216 total watts.
I really wanted 6 bulb, but I can always upgrade when I get the extra money.

Can I grow nems and max clam with this?

Actually.. better question would be.. what range would this light be? "Low" "Medium" "High"?

med to high, esp on the top. the amount of par produced will be affeced by the bulb choice. youll have no probs unless its a really deep tank
 
Yes what is the depth of the tank you want to put it on?
 
it's a 75 gal, 21 inches high. (48"w, 18" front to back)

I may need to play around with the bulbs to see which I like best. but for now, I'll use what comes with it
