Will 4 hours of a 250 Watt DE 14k bulb work for a maxima?

36 inch x 18 inch x i think its either 18 or 24. Its a 40 gallon tank with 1 inch of sand.

The height of the Pendant will be around 2-4 inches from the water.

Oh ya, is there a limit on how many clams per tank size?

I don't own MH, but I think your lights are way to close to the water. Your gonna get salt spray on them not to mention the heat issue.

I keep my pendant a foot over the water line....and it gives off more than enough light. also the closer the pendant is to the water the hotter your water temp will become.

Thanks,

I'll adjust the height of the pendant to 6-8 inches.
