Hi.
Straight to the point, i plan on settin up a 4' x 2' x 2' reef tank later this year. I would like to keep at least 1 Crocea Clam, possible a T. Maxima Clam as a centrepiece. Now i know these require a lot of light, my problem is that metal halides are not an option for me. I have my mind set on 54 watt Deltech Razor T5's, these come with 2 bulbs 1 white 1 blue, so that gives 108 watts per razor, i would definatly have at least 2 of these meaning 216 watts. However i would rather have 3 of the razors meaning 324 watts of lighting. whilst it would be possible for me to have 4 razors i really dont want to have to have that many.
So would 324 watts of T5 lighting be sufficient for what i want? And maybe things such as Acropora?
Cheers, James
