i'm looking to add a clam to my set up... i heard of ppl keeping clams under power compacts. i have a 7g w/ 48w of T5 single lense reflectors. i reccently swapped to T5 and its making my shrooms curl up.

thats probably cuz yer shrooms are in to high of a light zone, depending on your depth it say it sounds good, but i dont have halides/T5/ clams, im just sayign IMO but dont trust only me haha

Same as anemonebuff.

Same clam is under halides and doing good. Not much of a difference in growth if you ask me.
