which bio-cube? some setups have more lights than others, and there are lower-light clams (though they can get big over time, say ~20" and sometimes more, you can get them in the 2-3" range to start).

I have a biocube 8 and i have those same lights. there CF's not T5HO's. you could but it would need to be one that lives on rocks and it would need to be near the top. Also have another larger tank handy cause clams get pretty big. My LFS is sellin one that is 12'' across!!
