| I bought some edens crush acans about 6 months ago. They were doing great up until last month. Even sprouting new heads. Now they seem like there causing away slowly. Everything else in the system is fine even my other acans. I've tested my water numerous times and everything is in check. They were place about 5/8 the way down from the light and this is in a 14g BC. Any recommendations? Thanks. |

| The lighting is the stock pc's but the bulbs are maybe 5 weeks old so pretty new. I will have to do a test tomorrow and post results. |

Interesting i have never heard that, i have some Fort Knox that are loving it like a foot below LED's. I havent seen them lose color, although maybe they would be more colorful, if i put them somewhere where there is less light. ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

I have high intensity LEDs in my system, and I can't keep Acans alive at all. I've tested my water and scratched my brain for months because I love Acans. I have Trachs, Favias, Candys, Scolys, and other LPS that are super happy. But Acans in particular hate my guts. Everything in my tank is perfect, so I've had issues with Acans relating to what I can only assume is lighting as well, and can confirm they are picky! |

Pete, How do you scratch your brains? Sorry for that hijack I have 3 different Acans in my 28G nano with LED's and they are doing well. I have to put them all low toward the sand bed or they are not happy. ------------- My ocean. 90g (yup, won it!), 40g, 28g, & 10g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63568&title=krazies-nano-paradise" rel="nofollow - Tank Thread: |

Hey Pete what type of LEDs do you have, i have LEDs over my 120 and my acans love the light, there maybe at the middle of my tank though. ------------- 75g Just starting out, Stand and canopy From Richins carpentry. |
