NikeSB,

those acans in the last picture look awesome! i wish i had a nice camera like that to take pictures of that caliber!

awesome shots.

do you have any problems with the tissue receding with placing them on the sand? or do you use a larger grain sand? i have found that sand can cause tissue infections and will result in the tissue receding and dying.. in the pictures it loooks like larger grain sand but correct me if im wrong please. or maybe last thought it lower flow in the tank to the sand doesnt get disturbed?

hm.. that is interesting. i bet it is the sand. i have fine sine a little smaller than sugar grain size and it worked for awhile, but with my wrasse trying to burro every couple of days, i get free floating sand debris from time to time. i would like to make an acan sand bed in my tank. ill have to give it a try and watch. 

what kind of sand are you using? brand name or is it from the lfs? here they have a bunch in tanks and they just scoop it out and sell it by the lb. 

nobody else has acans they want to show off?

i bought some new acans, ill have to post up some pictures!

AquaKnight - it is a sport equipped 5, but it looks identical to the m5 with the m5 bumper upgrades. its a beauty.

nice acans, post up again if you see them adjust to yuour lighting a little more and they colors adjust.

here are a few pics of some new acans, and some pre existing. out of the new additions there was only 3 i could get good shots of. =(

anyways, here are some photos

i have been trying to get this acan for awhile now, the red, pink green and purple is an unbeatable combo. 

stronger blue leds

strongest led lights. led only

these ones are weird

orange envys

these acans arent new, but are coloring up so niceee try not to mind the little led light that was on when i took the picture.

ah, yes new new new new!

i bought an LED light fixture and its making my acans look great, check it out. i also purchased some new acans. 

i cant figure out how to get the pics on here any more, i tried all the codes it gave me from photo bucket.

whats the deal
