Clam PAR (Lighting for Clams)
We recommend for all giant clams, PAR ranges of 100 - 450 PAR
- 8 - 9 hours at these levels are sufficient
- Par = Food!
- Clams can adapt to higher PAR, but be careful as you can burn the clams very easily!
Derasa 125 - 400 PAR
Maxima 150 - 300 PAR
Squamosa 150 - 300 PAR
Crocea 225 - 450 PAR
Gigas 100 - 350 PAR
Hippopus 100 - 250 PAR
