so ive been doing reasurch on clams, i really want one now but im reasurching for down the road, any advice on good hardy species, and lights to use, my lfs has clams that are thriving under LED lights, while some posts and sites ive visited say its impossable to keep them under LED, so just lookin for experiances and tips
 
what size tank are you wanting to have your clam or clams in? any inverts you plan to add in the future? fish?

what i have right now is an evolve 4 which id love to add a clam to it, but most likly not, i do want to upgrade to a 20 long at some point, and i wont have much for fish maybe a saddle back blown or some sort of oddball, but im not sure, and i know ill have blue legs, a pistol shrimp and snails.
 
They do good under led's well it depends on how deep your tank is but the ones we have at my job are under led,s but carefully when you transport them if they are expose to air they could die ...I bag them under water

i plan on using LEDs as much as possable, but i know some clams need very high light and such, i want to be able to care for them properly,
