Skimmer optional. Just be prepared for increased frequency and amount of water changes.

Very simple to do with that size tank.

I personally would not bother with skimmer.

Ability to keep clam entirely depends on lights. If adequate get smaller variety clam so does not over grow tank quickly.


Have fun!
