ok so the clams are in the tank now. you don't want to turn the lights on right away. give them a few hours.
while i was waiting i took a 150w MH off my frag tank and put it over the QT. any decent marine quality light should work but i thing its best to use something close to what you will be keeping them under.
i also put a piece of acrylic over the tank that i dipped in the sump so it gets covered with salt to help shade the clams from the light. i could have used the dirty screen on my front door also
now i know these clams were under 250w MH before i got them but its still a good idea to acclimate them to new lighting.
im going to keep the lights off for 4 or 5 hours then give them about 6 hours of light today, then over the next few days slowly increase the light up to about 9 hours
