Am i able to keep this type of clam in my tank i have power compacts i forgot the watts.
Ive been told all clams need MH's. I was doing some research and these type of clams it says it needs only moderate lighting.
Is this true?
its doable under power compact for sure, but for better success, mh or t5 is recommended. if u must go with pc, then make sure u hv enough bulbs over it, and the tank isnt too deep, since squamosa clams do better on the substrate.

well i can put it high in the tank but it would be on rocks my tank is about 2 and a half feet high. to deep for the substrate?
Yes too deep in my opinion for placing in the substrate.
Throughout the hobby there is always some WANT. Do it right and be patient. PCs are not advised for any clams. Squamosa or otherwise. Put in on the back burner for things too add when you upgrade lighting down the road.
