Acan Growth

Bjohn · Jul 7, 2013

For all you acan lovers, How fast do you find your acan lords grow? Mine are fairly slow, In a month one of my frags went from 4 heads and 4 babies to 6 heads and 8 babies. Another went from 4 heads and 6 babies to 5 heads and 8 babies. Not sure if this is a good amount of growth or not.

Params are
salinity=1.025
mg=1350
Nitrates=0
Phosphates=0
Ph=8.0 (I know bit low)
Alk=8.0
Calc=450

You are doing well as far as growth. You can always feed them. They seem to grow faster with feeding. Good luck.

Ya I'm feeding 3 times a week, just mysis. May switch to reef roids

Fair enough growing for me. Growing rate is exponencial. Once the colony reaches 8-10 adult heads it starts to grow like crazy

I spot feed Fauna Marin LPS pellets. Pretty good growth. Haven't really counted. Sounds like you are doing alright. Not sure how nutritional mysis is. I feed mysis to other things so the acans get some also.
