    Report back in 6 months to a year and I'll be impressed. You simply can't keep tridacna clams under PC lighting. They take a very long time to die.

    thanks yeah, even though i dont have mh, he is just doin fine cause i put him pretty high up, but i was thinking of getting my 10 gallon tank, with my 130 watt pcs, and connecting the two tanks so i can still get the benefit of the clam eating nitrates and what not, and having him under 13 watts a gallon instead of 4.87 watts a gallon, lol but its just been a thought
