setting up a clam tank

[19percula]

as above i m thinking of setting up a clam tank in my room will be a 3 feet by 2 feet by ? feet not yet decide on the height maybe can give some suggestion.

will be running on a ehiem external filter is it okie?

my idea came from roiden clam tank

height no need too high, so that u can just use 150w MH....mine is just 1 feet high....

actually its best you have the clam tank to support some main reef tank coz clams need some wastes from fish/corals or DOCs to thrive, its part of the whole reef system as clams are natural bio filters

since you can house a nice 3 x 2 tank concept, go full reef and have many clams in it better
