    It's easy to frag, just cut off a branch. $50 is a pretty good price too.

    Heck of a price, I have one almost exactly like it, color is a bit different bit its close. and its a LOBO not an acan,

    This advice is correct for the LOBO, lower light an flow and it should do well. As far as fagging it, you have to make sure that the heads are all separate or not attached in any way. If they are then they cannot be separated with out harming them

    But for and Acan which it was originally called it is not. I have at least 8 Different Acans every one of them do better in Medium to High light and medium flow. If I put them in low light they close up or shrink down to almost nothing as if the lights were turned off.

    i thought that as well, but i didn't want to ruin your mood. If you really like it it was worth 50. To me, it wasn't
