I have made some changes.

I am no longer using Acan Plus alone. I have no idea what is in it. And as far as the conversations I have had with other reefers... nobody else does either.

One theory I have heard is that it is simply a cocktail of other already marketed products.

I have no idea so I am adding fauna Marin Ultra Clam to the regimen... in fact... I really like it.

I have the EXACT same response that Acan Plus gives but the door is open and we know what we are feeding corals. This is a fact I like.

Acan Plus will POSSIBLY remain in the feeding schedule... but after this bottle is gone I think I will stick with the Ultra Clam.

How ever, I do feel Acan Plus does a good job, just do not like the fact that the ingredients are not disclosed. ANYTHING could be in there.

I also do not like the fact I c an only go to one store to buy this product.

I am a consumer, as we all are, and wish the product was more readily available. It might make the product more transparent.


I also added two more acans... very special ones. Pics will come soon.

Paddyob the Acan plus is made locally if you didn't know and the person who is making it can only make so much as for the demand in the material used. I know that he uses only grade stuff in there and probably if you ask Red coral where they buy it from they will tell you and you can ask direct, remember thisis a new product and probably the person who is making it didnt think that it was important at the time. may be a thread to start who allow the member to chime in and express what he uses.

Red coral also wholesales it out to any other store, all they have to do is contact Kevin..... But the other issue is still there that supplies are always limited because it sells so fast....

Ha ha
 

Not a thread i am going to start. steve at RCE i thought it was exclusive based on the info in the past.

Hey Patrick, it is exclusive as no one has bothered to pick up the line yet, except for the Red Coral stores....

Anyways...

I have made a few changes in my feeding regimen...

I have an acan that was doing poorly as I initially placed it too high and too fast in the tank.
I have been using Acan Plus and it has really picked up and looks healthy just like the other Acans.

I use a small amount in a 10ml water filled test tube and mix it well. I use a syringe to target feed the acans and all the other LPS that has small polyps.

I don't know what it is made of but unlike the other magic foods it works.

Hopefully J will chime in here......but this is the short version .......it is not a blend of other commercially available products.....J would scorn that notion...... he has been slowly working on this formula for two or three years......from what I can tell it is somewhat similar in composition to other brands of coral foods....with two major differences......higher quality ingredients.....and no "fillers"........:biggrin:

It worked well for me as well.... I just want more info on the product if you know what I mean.

Nobody uses a salt simply because somebody else says they should. We have seen a lot of those threads as well. People like to know what they are adding to the tank.



ANYWAYS....

Someone please start a thread if they wish to. This is my personal Acan growth thread and would prefer to not use this it for this particular discussion. It will bog my thread up.

and I will back J up too I know him well and like I have stated that he uses top grade material to make the food.

Looking forward to some pictures of those :wink:

Coming soon Greg.... wonder if I can get them off those plugs without damaging them?

By Sunday I will get the pics up. Want to give them another healthy feeding first :wink:

Yes they will come off the plugs very easily without any damage. The plugs are simply used as a way to lock them in place on an eggcrate shelf and keep them afloat when shipping or transporting. Just use any cutter blade, even scissors should work, between the plug flat and the bottom of the acan rock flat and it will pop right off.

Growth Race
 

OK.... Here is what I plan to do.

I have two new Acan Frags. Both almost identical in size (Approx 4 heads each).

One I will target feed Acan Plus. The other Fauna Marin Ultra Clam.

I will post pics later of both and the race will commence!
