    Your link doesn't work.
    FYI, clams need a lot of light because they live in very shallow water in the wild. Their lighting need is comparable to that of SPS if not more so.

    Default ebay fixture

    Hey Bubba. I have heard these are good fixtures, and cheaper. They use icecap balasts as well. Thaught you may be interested.

    I would go with the 250w fixture. Better to have to much than not enough, especially if you want to do a clam.

    For clams, go with 250w unless its a very shallow tank.
