Clams and par

[Loki]

I have a question. What type of par do clams like. I have the duraso, crocea(sp) and squamosa.

I have a par meter and I would like to know what other people keep theirs at.

i have a crocea ive tried middle but it always migrates 2 the bottom not sure what my par is though

 

[Loki]

My crocea is in the middle and is attached to a rock. It was at 120ish par and seems to like it. I got new lights today and the par will be much more.

Never test par, but my squamosa is on the bottom. It's under a 250 MH (1 of 3). I've moved it up higher, but it always has moved back to the bottom.

I've never checked it.

Most of my clams (crocea's and maxima's) sit on the bottom of my tank. The PAR measures 230-250, which is produced by an AI Sol Blue LED

 

[Loki]

Wow. That's a lot of par for the bottom of the tank. Thank you for the info.

I have a crocea and a derasa next to each other on the sandbed with a par of 130 where they are at. Both are doing great

Thanks for you're response. I will check mine next week. I would guess me squamosa and duraso are in about 120-140 and my crocea is around 200 under T5's.
