Well as luck would have it, my colleague dug up his unused Johnlen Tec Chiller with built-in thermostat and gave it to me today. Fixed it up and removed all my fans which made my tank dead silent now.

Pros of using this chiller, better temperature stability, silent, extra flow from the return and no more cyborg looking fans on top of tank. Cons are additional powerhead needed and hoses.

Feeding the acans with a mixture of Brightwell Zooplanktos-M and H2Ocean LPS food mix.

Nice shot mate :) Acans are certainly some of the more interesting corals to watch feeding IMO :)

YOU DID GOOD KEVIN! Awesome video, happy little zoas & beautiful dottyback :thumber:

Thanks for sharing your success so far!
 
I was sitting here thinking that maybe i want to get a small tank for my desk at work and have it as one big acan rock. Then i thought to myself no I should wait for a sign if its the right thing to do.

Well here is my sign haha thanks kevin, its only money right ;]

Just thought I'd share how your aquarium can be nice somewhere else as well!

Gf's little cousin is over to stay the weekend with us, so we decided to make him comfortable in the guestroom :)
