Gadzooks!

Really nice acans.let them keep growing.love acans

Thank you, I fully intend to.

very niccccccccccceeeeee piece here for sure !thanks again for sharing

Thanks man.

WOW you got a tokyo sunrise!!! BY FAR BADDEST ACAN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just cant come to myself to spend that much on a coral! This one thread has me thinking of switching to T5's just to get my acans to coral back up........ Can we get a full tank shot?

I'll have to my my friend come by and tank a FTS with his fancy camera. Tokyo is crazy man I love that acan. Funny you said you can't get yourself to spend that much cause I hesitated for a couple weeks debating and thinking it through finally I pulled the trigger basing my decision on the fact that I have never saw an acan since I've been in the hobby. And once I got the coral, whatever I paid didn't even matter to me anymore. LOL Crazy I tell you. Switching to T5's was the best thing I ever did for my corals. I ran MH for years, the frist minute I turned on the T5's and witnessed my corals oozing with colors, I immediately felt that all those years I ran MH I was ripping myself off from experiencing the beauty of these corals. But there is no denying that MH is much better for sps.

Really awesome pic !!!!!!! Beautiful collection

Thank you.

Beautiful pieces.

Thank you.

WOW...................:inlove::inlove::inlove:.........Where do you find these things. I'm jealous.
Any one of those frags will sell at my LFS for $500US+. The normal regular color acans start at $300US.
We have to pay big bucks just to get it shipped here to the caribbean.

Got the Tokyo from Cherry Corals. The others I got from local reefers or reefapalooza.

before trinidiver stated "wow" the first thing that came to my mind was wow,wow,wow !!!!!!!! very nice .

:lol: Thanks man, I really love acans.

Just absurd!!!

Psirex hit it on the head. LOL

One I've paid as much at $200 for 1 polyp, but that's only one. Most others are $25-$75 per polyp.

If someone has browned out a rainbow acan, (2x) how long to recover? I only see pefect color, .Color is incredible. kinda miss T5. Great collection

 

[Ferguson1977]

All Delight, have you noticed higher or lower light affecting any certain colors? Say you want to bring out more green in a piece, do you go higher or lower? Or say you see a piece in low light turning orange or red, does it need even less light or more light? Just curious if you've figured out any corrolation between light intensity and retaining specific colors.

 

[acbaro]

wow where can one find acans like these?!

 

[Michigan Mike]

I would like to know more about the t5 lighting as well.i recently upgraded from a fishneedit 4x24x t5 to a sun power. I've had them 3/4 the way up but here's a pic of them, seem to be adjusting well.

 

[glennvandyke]

I myself don't have good luck bring acans back once they lose color.

From my experience reds love light. One acan I have has a really nice green outter ring that circles the orange polyp. It was slightly there when I got it, but is now more pronounced in higher light. But that where I put in from day one.

prowl through the sale threads or cherry corals always has a nice selection.

T5's are great cause you can change the bulb configuration to your liking. More blue, less blue, etc.

I always rememeber the names of the ones that were really expensive. Kinda like you never forget the name of the prettiest girl in high school was. But you can't remember the girl that sat next to you. hahahaha

And you're welcome anytime Mike.

i want to come buy it lol

LOL when I frag, sure.

Any tips on keeping acans that you have learned with all these pieces?

They love t5's compared to halides. Bluer the light the better.
