Well, I am a SPS nut, and my tank is dedicated to such. But as one woudl expect, with these Aussie Acans flooding the market, I saw a couple in the LFS that I took a liking to.
My concern is how much light can they handle.
My current tank is only 12" deep, 2-250W radiums on an HQI ballast in lumenarcs.(so, around 330 watts a piece) sitting about 12" off the water. It is bright.
Now certainly I will put the Acans on the bottom, but in a 12" deep tank, the bottom aint to far from the top.
So, again, how much likght can they take?, either right off, or after being acclimated. In the LFS they are in a 12" deep frag tank, under 250w DE, about 18" off the water.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
