Spencer7 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 /sigh. Amazing. agreed, just curious though, has anyone ever seen any actual skeletal growth with Acans, i feel like i've never seen someone get a two polyp frag and then grow it out to 50, prove me wrong? smell y'll later And once again Hype sets a high standard Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 /sigh. Amazing. thanks cintax agreed, just curious though, has anyone ever seen any actual skeletal growth with Acans, i feel like i've never seen someone get a two polyp frag and then grow it out to 50, prove me wrong?smell y'll later And once again Hype sets a high standard Well all of my frags in that pic were only 2-4 heads when i bought them. For instance the pink frag on the top left started as 3 heads and now is easily over 20. The only thing restricting their growth is the fact i havent mounted them to a piece of live rock.

Cintax Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Both of mine I bought as frags as well, I feed them a few times a week in hopes that they fill out! I considered placing them on live rock, but all my rock is marco rock and I don't think they would grow as nicely. Anyways, here are mine. Purple/Green Acan Orange/White Acan Quote Link to comment
Spencer7 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice acans and well shot pics, new member... Impressive Hype, its hard for me to picture Acans growing let alone onto LR, don't know why Quote Link to comment

Impressive Hype, its hard for me to picture Acans growing let alone onto LR, don't know why Thanks! I shot those with my Nikon D40 with the kit lens. Took me quite a few shots to finally get those, but I think they turned out nicely. Quote Link to comment

Formula462 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 here in ten minutes when my battery is fully charged, i will post some more pics of my acans. Quote Link to comment
NickCage Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What kind of lighting do you fellow acan'rs use? Anyone using LED's? My frags seem to be doing/growing great, noticing a Bunch of new growth. Im using Stunner strips in a 14g cube, I still have the stock lighting in there, but I really havnt used them because the stunners seem to be great, and all my corals are more low/moderate light. Just asking if this sounds okay for acans, or do you think I should give them all the light they can get. I hear mixed things. Nothing is better than experience. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Stunner's hardly put out any light though...... My acans under LED's 450nm. Quote Link to comment
HiImSean Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I used a RapidLED par38 bulb over mine. MY existing red colony seems to like it so far. I just keep them on the bottom of the tank and the light about 12" above the tank Quote Link to comment
Trogdor447 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 waiting for my lights to turn on - just got a beautiful new frag of them as well.. so now i have 2 acan frags Quote Link to comment
