QTing Crocea

In the next couple of months, I'll be looking to add a clam to our tank.

My question is in regards to QTing.

My current QT tank is a 10 gallon, with two 20w mini CF bulbs in an incandescent hood. Would this be enough light for a Crocea to QT under , assuming it's sitting up high? The other options I've considered are a Nano with a built in MH, or a clamp-on MH. Would would a 70w MH bulb be adequate, given the clam would only be under it a month?

Thanks,
L.E.E.
