First acan frags

[mike61289]

I got my first ever acan frags today! I'm really excited to watch them grow!

My question has to do with placement in the aquarium. They're currently on the sand in low flow. I have the maxspect razor 320W 15000K in place. Actinics are currently set to reach a maximum of 60% capacity and the fluorescents go to a maximum of 55%. My friend advised me that the acans might bleach if left out in the open as they are right now.

Should I move them under an overhang where there is less light?

Sandbed is fine. Reduce led intensitity and slowly aclimate over 2months to your desired 60%

Very good. Thank you!

One more question: how often should I be feeding them? They ate well today but want to make sure I don't overdue it.

I figured they would need more frequent feedings... Good thing I asked! Thanks!
