PC's and clams

Has anyone been able to keep any clams under PC's alone. I have 2 clams. My lighting was a 175W 10K Halide and two 65W PC actinics. But my Halide ballast went bad and I bought 2 more 96W PC 10K whites. The clams seem to be doing fine, but it has only been a few days. There were quite a few things in my aquarium including a couple anemones that seemed to be hiding from the halide and all came back out when I went back to PC's. Clams are about 2 feet from the lights.

So, 2 X 96W PC 10K White and 2 X 65W PC actinics. Will the clams do alright?

what is the depth of the tank and the location of the clam?

Edited, oops, I see that they are 24". Depends on type of clam I would say. The der. and sq. need less light than the crocea/maxima. Seems kinda weak for clams.

from reading in the clam part of these forums. people have had success with clams and pc's but from what i understand it's hit or miss.
