**PRICE IS PER HEAD**
The Acan Brain Coral wakes up tired reef aquariums with a jolt of exhilarating orange or red coloration. This color morph of the popular large polyp stony (LPS) coral demonstrates the exceptional range of vivid coloration displayed by Acanthastrea echinata. The Acan Brain Coral boasts coloration inspired by pop-culture featuring contrasting gradients of teal, orange, and sometimes red. Intense pops of caffeine-induced coloration transforms barren regions of your substrate and other lack-luster regions of the reef aquarium with visual excitement.
Acanthastrea generally have large corallites (8-15mm) with small teeth or lobes on their septa, as well as well-developed columellae. In the wild, they're found mostly in shallow water to about 20m, often in protected areas like lagoons, forming colonies up to several meters across.
In the reef aquarium, Acanthastrea are incredibly hardy and fast growing, tolerating a wide variety of conditions including both low and moderate lighting and moderate water currents. They make ideal candidates for fragging at home since they have very distinct corallites (less risk of collateral damage!), amazing adaptability to lighting conditions, and rapid growth rates. Though tolerant of a wide range of aquarium conditions, the undemanding Acan Brain Coral will thrive in established reef aquariums with stable conditions.

  • Description

    A Benchmark in Protein Skimmer Performance & Control

    The Diablo DCRS-200 external recirculating protein skimmer offers advanced performance control and maximum filtration for aquariums up to a 350 gallons. All the latest skimmer design innovations can be found on this Diablo DCRS model including:

    - Bubble Diffusing Chamber and Hybrid Cone Body
     that naturally reduces and stabilizes the foam production; This means less turbulence in the neck area and more contact time for organics to rise and collect

    - Oversized Air Silencer for quiet operation and airline mount

    - Large Collection Cup with flow directional guide, drain and unit venting

    - Precision Control with the easy to turn output flow valve

    - Power TheDiablo controllable Direct Current “DC” pinwheel skimmer pumps are the latest in variable speed flow technology that allows for refined control, enhanced performance and efficiency. The vast majority of skimmer pumps available to hobbyist are alternating current "AC" pumps (the type of power that comes out of your wall outlet).  Direct current pumps have several key advantages over traditional AC pumps.  Most notably, you can control the rotational speed of the motor, thus electronically control air and water flow rates into the skimmer.  
    >>> Performance control by a push of a button!!!

    Enhanced Pump Control

    This controller allows users to select between six preset speeds indicated by six green LEDs.  The controller also features a feed/service button.  When pressed, the skimmer pump shuts down and will automatically reactivate after 10 minutes.  Press the feed/service button a second time to resume normal operation. Diablo DC pumps feature a true slow startup where the pump slowly ramps up from zero RPM to the full preset speed over a period of approximately 10 seconds.
    The pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple waterproof union.

Vaquatics stands behind its products!

We decided to purchase a Maxspect Razor R420R 160 watt LED Light Fixture and place it over one of our coral tanks and we took this quick picture:


We believe at Vaquatics that if you are going to sell a product you have to stand behind it. That is one of the many things that has been lost in the industry since the dawn of the internet age. Companies just carry items because its the newest craze. LED's are here to stay and we will move with the technology but we will not carry a unit because of a claim or price. It has to perform and meet the standards that Marine hobbyists  need to maintain their delicate mini ecosystems.

Happy Reefing,
