what is consider a deep tank? my 20 gallon is about 18inches deep. but from teh top of the sand to the surface of the water is is about 15-16 inches deep. i have 144 watts of power compact light on my 20 gallon. i was told i cant keep a maxima clam because it wasnt enough lighting. the thing is when i searched the info on maxima clams, they had indicated that maxi needs about 6-8 watts of light per gallon in a not deep tank. so am i right to assume 15-16 inches deep tank is consider deep? if not then would i still be able to keep a maxima clam? i am confused. please help, anyone??
