Planning my new clam tank out and wanted some opinions...
I would like to order an Aquaspace light (2 250 watt HQIs and 2 Actinic PCs) but was wondering if this would be sufficient. The tank is L=48, W=24, H=18. Since this fixture needs to be hung, the clams would be approx 24 inches from the light when on the 6 in. sandbed. Would the light penetrate to the bottom to keep the clams happy? Would the 10K bulbs be the wrong spectrum for these shallow water animals? Thanks for your help
