Just a question?
Coral's are considered an animal (pending the type that is) mushrooms are still considered fungi and leathers as well if I remember correctly.

Still don't see the fuss in here, he honestly puts in all the effort to supply a food that in reality is to costly to produce. and it works to. Laurie had a good point with KFC, print off that document and storm into one demanding to see all the ingredients. If something has been proven to work, no point questioning it

I'm just bothered by you Ryan you are making a stink about this Acan plus if you don't like it and don't agree with it then don't buy it. Personally I think that you are just causing a stink about it, because of whatever happened that your corals are not responding to it. Every type of corals and tanks are different.

give it a rest man. People on here totally disagree with me going over to Afghanistan. I don't really care what people are saying. People on here disagree that skimmer's LED's, pumps, Food whatever. I think that you got the point across and you have made your point. You don't like the food and it doesn't hold a list of materials that is used to make it. really does it matter.

I'm guessing the ingrediant list is simple...


Seriously though if it works great then use it.
People still eat hot dogs and we know whats in them.


Ingrediant list or not, they seem to like it and grow well as a result.
I for one am going to buy ACAN+ as long as JMES keeps making it.
He may well decide to stop and then where does that leave us?

There is no soft coral that is considered a fungi, your mixing up the family name with a kingdom name.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Cnidaria
Class: Anthozoa
Order: Scleractinia
Suborder: Fungiina
Family: Fungiidae

Fungi have there own kingdom in the new "3 domain" classification of species.
Domain: Eukaryota
(unranked): Opisthokonta
Kingdom: Fungi

Silly Laurier... Shrooms are for kids!!.

I'm +1 with Ryan here, again I personally have used Acan+ with good results. All I'm saying is James is making some pretty large claims not only about his food but his competitors actions, claims on the internet have to be backed up... Haha I just burst out laughing on that one. Well no they don't have to be backed up but you can't honestly expect me to purchase your food after you say there's zero fillers and it's the BEST but no one can know the ingredients because someone is going to steal it.

My apologies for some reason I keep mixing up peoples names, and again I know his product works as I have personally used it. I'm taking the lazy approach on my reef as of late, no zeovit, no fancy chemicals, no acan plus and in my opinion there has been no difference.

Red coral has the exclusive on it and even though red coral is the distributor there is a good chance no saltwater specialty store would buy products from a competiting store.

Agreed. I feel this will limit the distribution. If you really want to make it fly, you need to distribute it yourself.

Red Coral has a good thing going for themselves.

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.

I just priced it out, it cost 20 for the acan plus but shipping is around 15, I am not sure if I can justify spending almost as much on shipping as it would cost for the product.
