Shots turned out great for Acan #2.... it is in an easier place to shoot. note the intense coloration it is getting. Wow. When I got #2 it was red with a purple-ish trim..... definitely gaining more color since starting to use Acan Plus.


I need to re=upload... something funny happened.... all pixelated. Must be the size I edited to.


#2 before feeding...


#2 After feeding...

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Wow! that's some awesome colors!
I don't have the Lords, but I am hoping that my little frags will grow up looking even half as good!

My Chalice never extended anything in the two years I have had it. Start feeding Acan Plus... Woalah!

I have made some changes.

I am no longer using Acan Plus alone. I have no idea what is in it. And as far as the conversations I have had with other reefers... nobody else does either.

One theory I have heard is that it is simply a cocktail of other already marketed products.

I have no idea so I am adding fauna Marin Ultra Clam to the regimen... in fact... I really like it.

I have the EXACT same response that Acan Plus gives but the door is open and we know what we are feeding corals. This is a fact I like.

Acan Plus will POSSIBLY remain in the feeding schedule... but after this bottle is gone I think I will stick with the Ultra Clam.

How ever, I do feel Acan Plus does a good job, just do not like the fact that the ingredients are not disclosed. ANYTHING could be in there.

I also do not like the fact I c an only go to one store to buy this product.

I am a consumer, as we all are, and wish the product was more readily available. It might make the product more transparent.


I also added two more acans... very special ones. Pics will come soon.

Paddyob the Acan plus is made locally if you didn't know and the person who is making it can only make so much as for the demand in the material used. I know that he uses only grade stuff in there and probably if you ask Red coral where they buy it from they will tell you and you can ask direct, remember thisis a new product and probably the person who is making it didnt think that it was important at the time. may be a thread to start who allow the member to chime in and express what he uses.

Red coral also wholesales it out to any other store, all they have to do is contact Kevin..... But the other issue is still there that supplies are always limited because it sells so fast....
