Acans under LED

EchoPapaGolf · Oct 1, 2016

It's been said acans don't do well (color wise) under led only light setups. I know there's plenty of LED tanks out there with awesome acans so let's see em!

Have you noticed any changes in color while using LEDs ?

The frags were just added two weeks ago, seem to be doing very well to me. Kessil AP700s only.

I've noticed that my Acans turned red after a few weeks under Radion W30 Pro's.

Sadly I don't think you are the only one with those results.

It depends so much on where they came from and what lighting they were used to. If MH or T5 only, there is almost always a little change in color, if there was any LED lighting at all, they typically keep color. @Shep is the acan guy here, maybe he can shed some "light" on the topic. I know that was a terrible joke but had to try and get Shep here somehow..

I think acans actually have the most potential in lower light conditions, but that's just my observations

This one actually was really bland and I thought ugly glad Mari saw something I missed. This was after 3 months under a ocean revive t247 60% blue 25% white 4 hours 2 hours each at 15% 35% blue 2 hours 50% blue 15% white sunrise and sunset manually adjusted lol. Here's couple more also. The bottom 2 pictures are the ones that colored up big time.
