    *sigh..*

    Squamosas are low-light clams. They require less light than maximas, which will need quite a bit. A squamosa will do fine on the sand-bed. You could try a maxima(once you see the squamosa is doing well) if it is higher up in the tank

    i know a squamosas clam will do good, i was directing that towards a maxima which needs halides, or a larger t5 fixture.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yes the LPS will be fine. Judge how your corals, inverts and fish are doing by how they look. Changes in appearance will be the first sign of stress.
