Nice pink on the second one, Brian.

I had my first ones come in yesterday. Pics were taken a couple hours after I put them in the tank. They colored up even more after a full day of light today.

Aussie Acans anyone :smokin:

hello, I forgot to ask what lighting you have these under? and how long have you had them before the pics were taken?

they look very very happy... you mind sharing some other info about them that will help us keep our Aussies thriving, happy, and growing?

Thanks...

Marvin: Those are awesome colonies! How long have you been growing them?

I'm almost positive that your pic # 2 is the large colony version of my pic # 2 under different lighting. That's what the centers are like on mine also. I can't wait for these things to grow out! Where do you place your acans in the tank?

I bought all of them as mini colonies... personally, I like to buy frags more than 10 heads.. it looks better in my tank IMHO... all the Aussie lords are on the sand bed... my tank is only 18" deep and being pounded by 250w MH about 6"-8" from the water surface.... I run straight 14k Phoenix... I will be installing (2) 24w T-5 for actinic supplementation... I hope I regain some of the colors I once had on some of these..

hope that helps...

Thanks again..

Marvin

Did you get all these frags from FraggleReef? Could you give the names of each one that he has them named. I have a order I am putting in and wondered how your photos compared to the photos you have on your site. I know I can't get the rainbow one but wondered about the others.

It actually looks better now. Here are some crappy quick shots with a good camera/lens and bad hands. They're all fat & healthy and great eaters!

250w MH 14K cheapies - about $30 per bulb, 6" from water
Barebottom with low flow - 1 2000lph powerhead
No feeding as i havent got the time
heavy fish load atm

SPS do not survive in this system right now due to water quality

I think the best part of these Australian corals is that you do not have to photo shop them at all to make them look vibrant as they are truely some of the nicest corals I have seen.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread but this is the only way I can contact Marvin since he's not accepting PMs.

Hey Marvin, how about those zoos? Shoot me a PM. It's been awhile...

Here are some shots from my latest shoot.
Pink Flamingo Aussie

Granny Smith Aussie

Toxic Spill Aussie

 

[heretolearn]

not as nice as my other acan , heres a few more i have .

 

[Chads29]

nice

 

[Chads29]

here are a few of mine. The camera isn't the best and I don't believe touching them up or enhancing the colors to make them look real, it actually makes them look like they have been infected with some radiation to make them glow which they don't.
