I just ordered a maxima clam and an orange linckia. I know it is best to QT everything, but doubt my qt is sufficient for these critters. I have MH on the DT but the qt is a dinky little 5 gallon with a 15 w bulb.
Should I attempt to qt them and watch them carefully or should I just accilmate them and place directly into the dt? Not sure which risk to take...DT contamination or stress to the clam and star due to lack of light and food.
Any suggestions? How long can the clam survive with those low light levels?
