Lighting for clams

what do I need? can I get away with an actinic and a 10,000K bulb on a 29 gal. That's what I'm using now with great success. But, I also have no clams. Lookin to do just one clam. Are there any ones better than others.
FYI, I am keeping various hammer corals, bubbles, colt, leathers, elegance, in this tank with this lighting set up. I plan on moving up to a larger tank in a few months with Hallides, but for now, I have this and want a clam real bad, hehehe.
Thanks for the advice

I would hold off untill you get your halides with the light you have your clams would die they need very intense lighting(halides)for the garden in there mantle to grow.I have read many articles by different authors that have come to the same conclusion.I personaly have three a dersa and two maximas and I run two 175watt 10,000k german halides and two atnic 03 on my fifty five .
