All of these lovely Acans make me want my own! What kinds of lights do you guys like to help them retain their colors?

 

 

Although personally I have a mix of T5's ad LED's over the green colony you see, it's not a very colorful piece, nor do I keep the rainbows etc. any more.

 

However speaking for some of my forum colleagues...

It's also part of the reason why red acans are so rare here...but that's a different discussion... ;)

I have the Steve's LEDs upgrade on my biocube. If I acclimate them properly, will they stay as colorful as I'd like? I've heard that T5s are better? But yet again I've also read on here that people like LEDs. It is a little confusing.

The reason why T5s are nice is that you can change your bulb configuration. There's a famous acan collector here in socal (who made it to the cover of Reef Hobbyist Magazine Q3 2013 edition) and he uses T5s

Hello my name is Zeke

And I'm addicted to acans

Grant it this is my first one..but they seem like potato chips.. can't have just one.

My acan cherry has popped!!

 

P.S. green, red/grey or orange /grey seems to be the most comon, any idea why?

Hey guys! Let's see some updated pics! Maybe some growth shots if you've posted before?

I thought this was a great deal, I might have to pick it up if no one else wants it.

 

Just to be clear, I'm not getting paid or in any way affiliated with Dr. Mac.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In fact, to get things going again, let's hear some reviews of online vendors acan wise! Who have you been impressed with? Who made you want to pull your hair out? Any good deals you guys see that someone hear might be interested in?

 

Thanks Guys! :D
