    I have had my acan on the bottom of my 6 gal for about a week. Could I move it to the middle of my tank? You can kinda see it on the left side, I was thinking of moving it to the branch above it so you can see it better.

    what lighting do you have in there Sadie

    I have my Acans - 2 colonies , both on rockwork
    pretty low as they are under 6 x T5s

    But under a moderately lit tank, Im confident they could be higher up without issues

    It depends on your lighting, if they arent very strong you should be fine moving them up, but take it slowly.

    I don't think it's very strong. It's a 18w PC.

    If I move it, is it better done at night when the lights go out?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You can move it up when ever you like,it will make no difference if the lights are on or off.
