Actinic Aussie Acans

I've been trying to resist the acan craze, but I ended up getting a couple spectacular frags anyway. These acans sure light up the tank, especially under the actinic lighting as shown here. Let's see some of yours!!

if you have access to blue led lights the colors are simply amazing under that lighting. I have a head lamp I use for night fishing and turned it on in the middle of the night and looked at the corals and couldn't believe how nice the corals looked under them.

i agree, i got a shot of a dendro with night lights only (blue led), with a shutter speed of 30 seconds, and yes i mean 30 seconds, not 1/30th.

We all have seen the effects of actinics not sure where on NOVA I saw it but they are saying that corals at depths of over 60ft react with great colors to UV light.
