He just swims against the overflow box all night and there are pods on the overflow. Maybe it will host an Amplexidiscus....

The LFS I go to has had success keeping low light clams (I think Squamosa ans Derasa) under PCs. Some of the most knowledgable guys who work there have them under PCs and have had them for quite a while. I really trust these guys and they are always concerned for the animals well being.

Actually I keep two croceas under PCs in my nano cube. They are on the rocks about halfway up the tank and seem to be doing fine. One has been in there since august. I know everyone states that they need MH lighting, but I have also read that that topic is still under debate.
Alyssia, T5s are fluorescent tubes that are thinner (I believe) than standard tubes, but are more intense and higher wattage. Four footers I believe are 110w. They require a different ballast too since they are higher wattage. I don't have any but have read a little about them in catalogs and such.
As for colors, I find that my clams are actually iridescent and the color depends on the angle you view them from.
Oh and back to my lighting, I have been told by a lfs guy that my clam will need more light later on. Not so much a problem as eventually I am switching to MH over my 75-soon-to-be-110 gal tank. So don't start screaming and flaming.

you are thinking of 4' VHO. 4' T5s HO bulbs are 54 watt.
and yes, your clam definatly will need more light. i doubt it will last for an extended period of time.
nice clams everyone, i wish i had a good pic of mine to share

they are not hardy at all. if you have perfect water, enough light, and they are big enough for them to not have to be fed, then they are pretty easy. but you just have to make sure your water is very good. how old is your tank?
