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.

Night. I have a dusk cycle with my lights and they seem to like it.

at night when the feeders are out. But you need to turn your powerheads off for 10min

I leave my power heads on but turn off my main pump so water does not filter out the overflow.

I let what ever hits the water column circulate for the other filter feeders in the tank for about an hour and then start my pump back up. I target feed the LPS only.

Smile Drip Tease your Acans

I feed whenever tentacles come out (typically sunset/dusk tank time though they've asked for it some mornings too). I make sure all powerheads off; pumps off; give a teensy drip tease to a couple or three heads to start the frenzy and then the whole colony says "gimmee now."

I mix fairly thick to better control the way the substance drips...not that it isn't amazingly easy to direct.

Oh yes, I leave them to feed for about forty minutes before powering back up as well. I suppose one could do 15 minutes feedings but I like to let them dine elegantly LOL!

Actually, I bought a cheap, curved-tipped, plastic syringe at PMS Hobby, cut the tip off and glued it into the end of a long, plastic pipette thingy... used CorAffix glue and it's held for a month now. That way I can even shoot itty-bitty heads down under. (Hint: cut the little tip off in tiny increments until you get a hole diameter you like to work with.)

If you can find the link to Mjes video showing how he feeds, you'll see the technique (just look for his posts). Letting it go into the water column is kindof wasteful imho... He uses a lot of the food in the video but that's just to show how to do it... all it takes is a nice blob that covers the central area of the polyp and whooopeee.

Once you get a good blob onto a mouth, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised... My Acans are little piggies for the stuff.
