Re: Need A Clam

I'm running 4.5w T5 and was told on here I could , but maybe put it mid point or higher. However, you should probably wait a bit longer before going with a clam, I was told around 6 mths

Re: Need A Clam

I would stay with T.derasa or T.crocea clams.The crocea may need to be closer to the light.I would at least wait til your system has matured and been stable four months.I'm not sure how well clams do in nanos,I would look for a super small specimen.

Good luck.

Re: Need A Clam

Like Freak said, I agree that a crocea clam would be your best bet, and a small one too.
