Maxima clam planning - How's my lighting?

[W Haymaker]

I'm rebooting my 25 gallon lagoon. I am looking at adding a Maxima clam. Do I have enough information here regarding my current lighting to validate whether it's good enough to keep s Maxima clam based on lighting alone? HD Prime pairs. The current plan is to place it where the red line is. Likely would be a two to three inch Maxima to start with

Light wise, you should bee good at 100% intensity. I had a pair of Primes on a 20g long and would get 200-300 par in that range, which should be enough.

I had mine in a 28g JBJ Nano Cube with the WiFi LED hood and he grew very nicely. Started out at 3" and now in my E-260 is huge!!

Thanks reefers! I was thinking it would be fine but maxima clams will be a first for me. I needed a confidence boost. My derasa did great in there and is going to also be moved back in along with a new squamosa this Friday.

Mine is about 6” below the waterline. The big thing with clams is they gotta face up . These are AI Prime HDs btw

No problem! One is supporting my mangrove and the other is holding a plastic cup with an anemone inside. Also perfect for clipping bags to the side while temp. acclimating so they don’t float around the tank and bump into stuff
