    sorry.. hear? and yes i have been thinking about it this week. ill be getting a maxima clam. I know theyre pretty hard to take care of, but im ready for it. Ill get a light blue one. i dont know where i should put it though. first ill have to get my calcium to a proper level. i dont really know what it is because last time i used the api test kit, it was off by 80.. thats way to much for me.

    Yeah I try to keep mine at 450+ which
    is pretty high. I would place it on the substrate.

    Oh and I meant heat. Does it heat the water?

    maybe a degree, but nothing like halides. im not sure if the lights will be strong enough to keep it at the bottom.

    Oh. That's usually we're clams are placed from what I've heard. Can you put them on the rocks?
