What fish you have in there? I had very poor luck with Acans until I moved them into my carpet tank which has no fish other than the clowns who are total retards and never leave their carpet. In the absence of fish pestering them they have bounced back and then some. If I wait until 1am the feeders are enormous and I can feed each head some fairly sizeable chunks of food like 2-3 PE mysis or flake food or whatever I have on hand.

So it could be a livestock incompatibility issue as well. Just something to think about..

JMes I'm curious about this magical fish food of yours. Any info you can share please?

And hang in there Mike, it'll get better. Tanks always need their primary dudes or dudettes around .. now that you're back it will bounce back. Especially now that you have the little skimmer dots figured out. Also, remember to take your helmet off from time to time!

I agree with Tony, the only time I have ever had problems with my Acans is when I have had Dwarf angels in my tank. Anyone in the tank seem to spend allot of time around the acans? I also had a bi-color blenny start picking at my show sized superman, I increased the amount of pellets I feed and that has stopped.

Were the fish being fed enough during your absence Mike? Brains & Acans are usually some of the first corals to get picked on when fish are hungry.
