jaykay Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 supernip, I a appreciate the quality of tanks from nipon. If you can hook up some good stuff, me and my buddies would be interested. Thanks. Link to comment
qualudethunder Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 So are all acans imported illegally to begin with? Whats the scoop? Link to comment
birdman204 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 nip, hook up that bottom orange and yellow one and we'll talk thru PM's Link to comment
supernip Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 acan= gaudy. Not all are from japan. I dont think it's legal to import stuff from japan without cites permits. It gets pricey. Just be patient. No one is going to want acans soon, just like no one cares about pink zoos, blue zoos, or efflos. k thanks Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 i somehow think otherwise... acans are just the current fad, it's not necessarily "gaudy" but i will agree it is overpriced. as to "no one wants acans soon," i think that's just wrong... no one wants acans b/c of the price, but there are still ppl willing to pay for them. when prices drop, everyone will have acan in their tank... but until then, acans will still be considered rare; and they will remain the envy of "most, if not all" reefers.

Tigahboy Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think it was just taken from the LPS thread over on RC, jen. it predates the watermarked pics shown on your website. but everyone knows it's yours, even w/o the watermark. =) Link to comment
Jendub Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 that's what I figured....when I did a prop. search on the pic it was used in the sdreefs.com. Oh well...thanks for the info tigah:} Link to comment
jackson vile Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 What are the Japanese putting in their water to get that kind of color? Every time I see Japanese reefs they just blow a way anything I see on any other country! Link to comment
lgreen Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i guess we will just have to see who gets there first. the amazing race, nano-reef edition. first one to japan who manages to get frags of all those acans and get back into the U.S w/out getting caught wins a 15 cracked 24g nano cube, courtesy of all those ####ed people who have cracked cubes.

Every time I see Japanese reefs they just blow a way anything I see on any other country! Well I have three theories. 1. All the silt and nutrients that spills out of china. 2. Radio active radiation from when the U.S. nuked the crap out of them back in ww2. 3. They are smarter than us, the don't dump nearly as much industrial waste into their oceans. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i'm thinking it has to do with more temperate waters and the fact that japanese tanks have ridiculous amounts of lighting over them(in all different spectrums). my aunt and uncle live in japan...i'm really trying to figure out a way to get some acans back here. Link to comment
jackson vile Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I say (for their home tanks) 1)Better attention to minerals 2)Cooler water 3)Attention to a light spectrum that we aren't 4)Some how higher water qualities. I think a lot of use have our water temp too high, should we really ever go over 78? Link to comment
lgreen Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 according to most experts no. 78 is about where it should be. many experts even suggest a range more of 74-78. I dont know, i think maybe because it is difficult to keep our tanks below 78 often, that maybe a new standard has been set of saying 78-82. Personally I would rather keep it a hair on the cooler end though. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 no dorks...the acans are collected in cooler waters! lol. i wasn't saying we should keep out tanks at cooler temps. although, my tanks never get over 79 now... Link to comment
Babycakes Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 cooler? lol. acans are cool. literally! oh yeah daniel, jeremy's on nano-reef.com. aka whodah Link to comment

Well stop and think for a second, if they do that well in cooler water than maybe you should keep your tank that cool. I don't think anyone should ever be going over 78 from what i have been ready. However we see people that go all the way up to 84 and wonder why their coral aren't doing so well. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 There are plenty who run at above 78 w/o any problems. I run my tanks at 80-82 and sometimes 82-84 during the hottest parts of the summer. Link to comment
schaadrak Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Maybe someone in Hawaii could meet supernip halfway by boat. I'd contribute to that trip if it got me that orange/green one. That thing looked like dinosaur skin. Hey I coined it first! "Dino Skin Acan Lord" $895 for 3.5 polyps Damn I'm good. Link to comment
dharmajedi Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 what is the difference in lighting between japanese tanks and german and american tanks? i think i read in this thread or another (to many windows open at once :*( ) that there are a couple different temp bulbs on the tanks? how does that work?
