I`ve had a couple people asking questions about Acan Plus. So,I would like to use this thread for any questions and answers People might have.
It would also be great to see some pictures of people feeding their corals Acan Plus and documenting the growth and size of their corals.

Question:
What is the best way of feeding my corals Acan Plus?

The best way is to target feed your corals using a syringe or dropper. Mix Acan Plus in a container using your aquarium water. (I prefer to mix mine a little thicker). Using my dropper I place the food into each head of the coral. Acan Plus was designed to sink and not immediately float to the surface
like other coral foods on the market. You should also get a strong feeding response from you corals. For best results turn off your pumps for about 20-30 minutes to give your corals time to eat. With regular use you should notice a significant size of your corals and faster growth. Here is a quick clip of me feeding one of my Rainbow Aussie Acans. Within 30 minutes the food is gone. Any excess food that falls to the floor is vacuumed up by my Nassarius snails.

Here are some pictures of some of my Aussie Acans. Majority of my Acans were grown from 2-3 head frags.

This is a picture from last november.


This is what it looks now.




Started from a 3 head frag of this colony. This picture was taken last November


This is it now. Notice how much larger the heads are.


Started from a 2 head frag. Picture is from last November.


This is what it looks like now.



Started out as a tiny 3 head frag last dec. It is hard to see in the picture but it has 18 heads now and the heads have tripled in size.



Here are a couple miscellaneous Aussie Acan pictures showing the health of my corals using Acan Plus. The corals are fed 1-2 times a week.
