i wouldnt put any clams in a new tank to be honest. I wouldn't add any for about a 6 months to a year or so. They are more for advanced reefers if you want them to live and keep them healthy. Just my two cents

I am planning on 70 - 100 gallons. Not 100% decided on lighting as I have a T5HO fixture I could use but I am leaning towards buying a new LED fixture. If there are fish that are benificial or compatible...sure. Undecided on the corals but if there are some that are hardy, I would be open to any suggestions.

Maxima Clams in general require high intense lighting, high calcium for shell growth and a mature system. High lighting should suffice for its photosynthetic needs/nourishment; but a mature system's water will help with transport of food from the water column to supplement its diet. Clams are filter feeders.
As others have mentioned; if you want to build your display 'around' a Maxima clam(s); choosing reef safe tank mates is also a priority. Certain fish will be predators to the clam or at best an irritant. Maxima clams also tend to like a fine substrate to sit in; while others tend to fair better on harder substrates. This is just a beginner crash course. I hope this helps. Cheers.
