Our Acan Collection.

[Palancar]

Here are some pictures of most of our collection of Aussie Acans and a few Indo Acans. That we are now keeping in our Acan tank in our greenhouse. I have a larger tank them in the planning stages right now. Thought I would share.

Full Acan tank shot.

Some pictures of new Aussie Acans I have coming from Matt at Austin Aqua Farms. These are the acans I talked about in my review of Austin Aqua Farms. Looking forward to Wednesday when they arrive.

great stuff...wow!

 

[Palancar]

Thanks, my wife and I are very happy with it and enjoy adding to it when we can.

 

[Palancar]

Could not help my self, I had to get the camera out and snap at least one picture of the new additions.

Here is our new Acan tank, it is a 30â€x30â€x16†diy glass tank with a wrap around shelf for frags or colonies. I decide to go with the black egg crate for the shelves, and Loc-line for the inputs. Tomorrow I will clean the tank front, add a thin layer of sand, move the light fixture from the other tank and start moving the corals. Here are some pictures first is dry tank, second is some detail of the shelves on the acrylic rail, and the third is with water flowing.

really like that wrap around egg create frag rack

 

[Palancar]

Thanks for the comments. One good thing about the rack is it is wide enough to put a small rack on it if we need more space.

Nice collection

 

[Palancar]

Thanks for the comments, with the new tank it should give us plenty of room for expansion (for right now )

I think it a little bit more than like...I have to admit probably more like an addiction. But that is what I enjoy and my wife is right there with me.

 

[bluebeltreefer]

wow, ive never seen so much acans in one tank before. amazing!

 

[Palancar]

Thanks, but now I am depressed, I moved the acans over to the new tank. It’s almost like parking a vw beetle in a 4 car garage. I even moved all our Acanthastrea echinata colonies to the tank on the back and one of the side shelves. I am going to move our favia colonies on the other side shelf this evening. I will probably keep them in there until I fill it up with Aussie acan either colonies or frags.

 

[Palancar]

Decided to take some pictures of the corals in the new acan tank.

that is beautiful, what a great layout with black eggcrate.

 

[Palancar]

Thanks, this is the first time I have used the black eggcrate and I think I am hooked from now on.
