enough light for a maxima clam?

[tim000]

is 1- 175w 55k MH, and 2- 55w PC's enough light to support a maxima clam in a 35g reef?
thanks

I have my clam 12 inches from the light with 2X175watt 10K metal halides with 2X55w PC actinics. It seems to be doing great.

I have 2 Maxima's and 1 Squamosa's each in the SB (ok I know the Maxima's prefer the rocks) under 1 175 10K MH, 2 36 watt Actinic PC's and 2 36 watt 10K PC's on a 55 and all are doing great for over a year now, showing very nice growth rates.

IMO, the maxima will do fine under that lighting. I've kept maxima, derasa, and crocea under 2 x 96 watt PCs in a 40 gallon, and they all did fine.
