Kessil A360W Setting for Maxima Clams

[sandwi54]

I have a 150g Marineland Deep Dimensions 36x36x27 housing three Maxima clams near the bottom of the tank (photo attached). There are two Kessils A360W at 9" above the water surface, spaced 12" apart. I would like to hear from anyone who have used the Kessils on similar tanks what intensity settings I should put mine at. Right now they are at 100% intensity but I don't know if that's needed and if I could put them at a lower setting to save electricity. Thanks.

Not to derail your thread but I've got a 93 Marineland Cube (30x30x24) and I was thinking about getting one A360W. In your opinion, would this suffice for most coral?

Anyone know if 2 kessil a360w is running at full intensity are enough for maxima clams on the bottom, 35" from the lights?

I ran 4 kessil 350 on my 8ft 300 gallon tank at bottom with my kessils 15 inches above water with no issues with clams at the bottom and had a maxima..Tank was 24 inches deep and kessils were at 100%

Thanks for the help! Did your clam achieve good growth at such a depth?
