Cliff Puckstable September 17, 2013 September 17, 2013 I'm in a posting mood, and I thought I'd share my nano. I got this just for my acans and zoas a few months ago. Sorry, the lighting is really blue. I added 3 Cree RB's and taped off most of the stock white lighting to make it more blue. I'm trying to get my rainbow colors back on my acans. If anyone knows any secrets in getting the color back, lmk. my favorite clowns (they finally paired up): the ora black ice snowflake (got her @ QR) teh wyoming white (got him from monkiboy)
monkiboy September 17, 2013 September 17, 2013 dude, that made my night seeing the lil guy not so little and doing well in your tank - he/she at the time was so tiny. she looks great!
zygote2k September 17, 2013 September 17, 2013 all acans lose color in captivity because their dietary needs are not being met. you have to feed these a variety of foods in order to keep their colors.

It's hard getting a good shot of him. In natural light, he has a lot of blue in him. He is a stud, for sure. Cool nano and Cree mod! Thank you all acans lose color in captivity because their dietary needs are not being met. you have to feed these a variety of foods in order to keep their colors. Rob, what do you recommend feeding? I regularly feed frozen cyclops and mysis, and once a week I squirt some phytoplan, zoplan, and some frozen rotifers to mix things up.
AlanM September 17, 2013 September 17, 2013 I think ERC feeds their LPS Fauna Marin Ultra LPS Grow and Color pellets once in a while.
Cliff Puckstable September 17, 2013 Author September 17, 2013 I wanted to buy that stuff from brs during the last gb but they were sold out. I will try it out if I can find some. That stuff isn't cheap.
Cliff Puckstable December 31, 2013 Author December 31, 2013 Update. I've been neglecting this tank. Planning on putting the corals I want to keep in the 200g and getting rid of this one.
smallreef January 1, 2014 January 1, 2014 I figured out the same for me...big tanks work, nanos and picos don't,lol
YHSublime January 1, 2014 January 1, 2014 Let me know if you want to get rid of that light. I'm looking for something to do a "grow out" frag tank for my zoas without spending a ton of cash.
