Ya I tried it too.....Zoas seem to like it and I've noticed a few new polyps sprout up overnight. My Trumpet likes it too. I've tried it on my open brain and it shows a feeding response but the next day it always seems to look swollen in some places....not sure what's happening there. Oh yeah....don't be an idiot like me and mix it with ro/di water instead of tank water.....derrr. I've mixed it quite thick with some chopped up Mysis in there too and definately noticed some differences the next day

Swollen looking is good!

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.

Thumbs up Fun with Acan Plus

Yup, swollen means it's eaten and is happy.... Insert burping sounds here...

Did you know this product has been painstakingly designed by a home boy.... Albertan, Canadian no less!

Jmes (on Canreef) background in health and nutrition is combined with a love of reef keeping. He has a passion for Acans and LPS that led to his experimenting for four years and creating a food that goes far beyond basic fodder and helps your corals thrive!

All too often we put too much faith in exotic or foreign labels... It's time to ditch our national modesty and stand up and recognize we have serious talent right here at home :-)

Let me put it this way.... Acan Plus is to mainstream foods as "Dyson" is to "Electrolux." OK, lousy analogy... but, it is profoundly different.

The Bunny Acan Plus rules! Way to go dude!

p.s. Newly noted behaviour of our house cat... He comes running when I open the jar of Acan Plus.... he loves the smell!!! And no, I draw the line at feeding it to him LOL!

Well maybe we should stop posting so there's still some available on the shelves...lol....Kevin was saying it was flying off the shelves. Anyone know what the shelf-life is on these little bottles?

I don't know the shelf life.... but it gets used faster than Reef-Roids for certain. They recommend you mix it thicker than normal so I don't think anyone giving a "healthy" feeding has to worry about shelf life ha ha!

What about your tank's fishes or snails? Sometimes I target feed the LPSs and get these fishes ans snails cruising around, picking shrimps etc off the polyps.
Do they do that when you feed your acans?
