Acan garden or spread throughout the tank?

[SaltyB24]

Anyone mind sharing some pictures of how you placed your acans? Having a hard time figuring out which style I want to go with

I currently have them grouped on a frag shelf in a floating garden but it’s not permanent. I just got these dome shaped rocks that have holes for frag plugs from a member that sells them.

I plan to clear sand bed space and put each of my acan frags in one, let them expand and cover the dome rocks, and make a bunch of mini colonies

To give an idea of size, here’s two of the rocks with frags put on them

These are all Asian Acans from @BSA Corals. These get larger and don’t lose color or turn solid like typical acans.

Bens a great vendor to work with. He has a ton that’s not on the website, best way to work with him is to get in touch, ask for current pics of his acan tanks, and go from there. He likes making bundle deals, which is what I did

Do you have a link to the rocks by chance?

 

[VintageReefer]

The scoly in the front and almost everything in the back are in them.

You can buy them from @CCK_8814

Spread them around. I am not a fan of the “garden” theme. I like everything spread and truly mixed

I prefer garden, mostly bc it ensures that they all have similar lighting and flow parameters and makes target feeding easier.

I also like the look of when they all grow up and fill up the spaces so it a big ball of overlapping heads. FYI, they do not fight each other
