good luck markie, you should keep track of its growth rate so we all could learn how good T5's are for clams. under good water conditions and good MH lighting a maxima could grow a quarter inch a year in the home aquarium. so how long has it been under your T5's.
From what I've experienced, under MH, my maxima grew more than a 1/4" in less than a year... I got a small 1" maxima back in October and have kept it under a 150watt MH sunpod. It's now 1.5"
