Where to place my acans.

[Jake_the_reefer]

I have 3 nice scan frags I want to glue to rockwork, but i am not sure where. Where would you guys place these? If you need to know flow/light intensity of certain spots i can clarify
This is more just looking for suggestions that would look nice

Depends are you ever going to frag them if yes leave them on sandbed only issue it’s they kinda grow into a ballshape on the sandbed

Right now they are on a frag rack. But they can do well on a sandbed? I was unsure if they got irritated and stunted growth on sand.

In my tank please

I'm not sure if I would frag them due to me not having a band saw or anything to cut through bone.

then glue them to rock target feed and watch them grow I love them too I usualy keep mine on sandbed I been keeping on frag rack cause my hermits toss them too much

Glue them to that rock directly under the frag rack with some decent spacing in between and watch them grow and multiply. I am not sure what light you have but judging from the photo and how they look now that placement should be good for light/flow, as you don't want them to get too much light. Try giving them reef roids via syringe to get them extra puffy.

Here is how I have mine on my rocks now, near the bottom of the tank (20" tall aquarium)

Looking good,

Is this your current build thread. I want to keep up on it, sounds like your doing good things.

Build Thread - 2nd hand biocube rebuild.

So I am going to be starting my 3rd nano tank which will be done in a 16g biocube. I will be using most of the equipment that came with the tank from the the trade. The equipment Light : current usa orbit 24 inch light (needs remote) Return pump: uniclife 320 Powerhead: current USA eflux 460...

That is my build thread for my biocube going to post an update this week when I get a cuc. This tank pictured is my main 20g.

I was thinking of doing that rock but I already have a zoa frag established there and a nem decided to hop on that rock as well. If the zoas can get along with the acans I'll for sure put them there! I could try and move the zoas.

[Jake_the_reefer]

Moved the acans onto the rock. The zoa hadn't grown onto the rock just yet. I really like this location to be honest.

Have you target fed them at night yet

 

[Jake_the_reefer]

Have you target fed them at night yet

Never. I feed them during the day because they are open during the day. Very puffy and happy!

 

[VB313]

Mine extend their feeders at night I target feed reef roids I love watching them respond

 

[melanotaenia]

Great placement; the beauty of Acans is once they grow and start to get close to one another they don't sting and kill one another. I like to feed mine reef roids slurry and copepods. Good luck! Watch out for that nem

I do reef roids when the lights are winding down every monday and thursday. And yeah that nem is a pain. I added it to my tank and it put its self on top of my red and blue acan so I moved it to the rack with the rest. I removed them from the plug and that's where they will stay. The nem gives me problems I'll blast it with a powerhead

I'm not sure why but all mine are open during the day all big and beautiful then close for the night. (They probably have become accustom to my feeding schedule)

Low and flow, and feed the heck out of them. Best corals in our tanks and hugely over looked for SPS and Zoas.
