Acan help

[standaman4]

I keep mine in med-low light and pretty low flow areas. I noticed that target feeding produces babies like crazy. My temp usually sits at 79 degrees.

I agree that in higher light my acans don't look as great. Whenever I had them in high lighting they would not release their feeding tenticles. Also look into Micromussas... they seem to be a little more hardy and a faster grower than acans IME.

I've had three colonies all receded and shrunken rebound back to better health in a month appearing puffier and with baby heads with these practices, i cant pin point which but it will definitely help:

1. I swear that supplementing strontium will help alot, LPS seem to need it, and strontium is an element that is quickly depleted. I dose with Brightwells Strontion.

2. Yes feeding too but not as essential like a dendro, probably once a week with mysis shrimp helps.

3. Lower phosphates, originally i had 0.43 and brought it under 0.10

4. Dose Vitamin C, I also use Brightwells Vitamarin C, ever since all coral tissues appear thicker and puffier especially zoas.

high phosphates, high temp and high lighting will kill your acans.

This is only from my personal experience. I also spot feed my acans and they get nice and fat
