bpounds1991 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Definitely don't have as good of a camera as you guys so excuse the quality, but here's my mini collection so far (tank is only 1 1/2 months old). Quick question, will the acans still grow alright glued to the rock like this? http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/32A0DBE8-5D65-4B4D-9121-52A19CD32FCC_zps7psgrzmw.jpg.html'> 2 Quote Link to comment

edd29 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just saw this and wanted to share a couple pics taken from my phone. I have an attached lens for macros. Just two acans, but thats all I can fit in my tank. One is a rainbow acan and the other just a simple red acan, don't let the second head fool ya. I will like to add one more in the near future. Just have to find the right one. 3 Quote Link to comment

adivedog Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just got my first acan this afternoon. I turned down the led's to about 30% Two questions. 1. A little while ago after the lights shut off, I looked in and the cleaner shrimp was on the frag picking away. Is this normal or is having the cleaner not good. 2. Do I need to keep led's low for a while or go ahead and raise to about 50% tomorrow Quote Link to comment

Do I need to keep led's low for a while or go ahead and raise to about 50% tomorrow The cleaner shrimp should be fine, he's probably just exploring the new environment change or eating some junk off the piece. I will say that they can get really annoying when/if you're trying to spot feed the acan, they'll often steal food from the acan's mouths. To try and prevent that you could drop in a chunk of food for the shrimp and feed the acan while he's occupied. Perhaps some other acan club frequenters could chip in. Personally, I've never light-acclimated my acans, whether they were going under T5's or LED's I never had any pieces damaged. I wouldn't worry about it too much, 50% should be fine. Obviously, it can happen but by this point you should have a good feel for your lights. Quote Link to comment
Toybuddha Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 My fire shrimp doesn't damage any corals. It's a beautiful shrimp, but I'll likely never have a shrimp again. If I ever want to feed any coral, I have to stand guard with a stick until it has eaten all the food, or the shrimp WILL steal it. It will also reach it's thieving little claws down into the coral and snatch out the food. I've heard that they could even damage the coral by doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My acans are doing much better since I mounted them on what I call Acan Landing. http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/1stimereefer/media/048_zpsa269c09c.jpg.html'> And the bowerbanki has several more heads on the right side underneath. Each one eye section is huge. http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/1stimereefer/media/059_zpsefdbd4a3.jpg.html'> http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/1stimereefer/media/060_zpsba606cd2.jpg.html'> 3 Quote Link to comment

tomduud Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Awesome acans in this thread how do you keep colors so nice? My only acan is veeery pale. I have seen images of it with very bright corols, but mine was pale from start . The colors of the photos look better than real life... Hippie flavour acan (under led lights / with different white/blue ratios) 3 Quote Link to comment

Hippie flavour acan (under led lights / with different white/blue ratios) Feed your acans (fleshy foods AND amino acids)! Don't cook your coral with two much light, avoid touching it, keep your parameters in check, make sure it gets a gentle, yet visible, amount of flow Quote Link to comment
Spencer7 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hey guys! Just made an awesome banner for the club!! All the pics come from members like yourself! I'll be further adding to this over the next week! If YOU would like to have your acan be a part of the fun, just upload a pic here and I'll do my best. Try to make sure your pic is in focus, up-close, and that it is roughly a top-down shot. Keep the picture big as well please, don't shrink it! Thank you I will also be making a club sig for everyone! Post it with pride! Thank you, ~Spencer 3 Quote Link to comment
