Acan Food

[Tank2379]

Any one else use Spectrum Pellets to feed there Acans? I've been using it for about 6 months now and all my Acans color up really well and keep those colors. I use T-5 lights and since feeding I've notice a lot of dull colors get a little more bright. Sprectrum pellets work if you are trying to find different foods to feed. Here a couple of pieces I took from some Acan Frags

I have some acans the size of half-dollars or bigger. Under a kessil, spot feeding them maybe 2-3 times a week, LRS and omega one pellets

I give mine Spectrum pellets every other day. I mixed it with Fuana marin pellets

I have used NLS pellets with good response from the acans. My normal food for them is still mysis and frozen Cyclop-Eeze but it keeps getting harder to find.

I use fauna marine pellets for mine and am really pleased with the results. During the week they also get a treat twice weekly of a mixture of brine, mysis and calanus

How do you guys get the food to them? Do you crush the pellets first? Thanks!

 

[bbreda52]

Reef Chili is a powdered formula that come with a feeding bottle. Sime and effective. Phyto and Zo plankton r part of mix.

When I fed pellets, I used to soak them in a cup of tank water for a while and then squirt it softly onto open polyps directly.

For best results, I'd feed at night when all the LPS had their tentacles extended. It also kept the fish from stealing the food as he was hiding trying to sleep.
