Acan light levels and water conditions

[greatclips]

I was at Nextwave and bought several Acans. What advise can you give me as far as light levels (i have MH) and water requirements such as alk and mag and feeding

Thanks for your help

High alk us bad. 8-9 is perfect. You want to have them in the lower half of your tank

Yes +1 on the sandbed, they also love to be target feed. They are fun to watch eat.

Is 30 inches from MH on sand bed too far?
