PC lighting and standard t5 ho lighting are two totally different things. the bulb dia might be almost the same but thier output is different.

T5 ho puts alot more light and it penetrates deeper.

If sps's can't be kept in a tank this small with the stock lighting then I beleve there are no clams that can be kept in it either.

In a larger tank you may be successfull keeping squamosa or derasa but these clams would quickly outgrow this tank.
