Mine like low light and medium flow. New heads pop up fast, but skeletal growth is slower.

Post some pics!

Acans are as hardy as they come. If you want great growth and color ~ feed them. Mysis and cyclopes are good choices. The other thing to worry about is too much light washing out the colors. They are not a high light demanding coral.

Have to agree as well, I dont feed mine so growth is slow & color is decent but I have seen better.
