mushroom pico idea?

[Riona]

I've got my little pico that I set up for a majano anemone tank. The 'nem never took off like I'd hoped, so I'm just going to wait until my sump is set up and stick it in there instead. It was suggested to me to re-do it for shrooms since I want to keep something in it still. Soo... It's got a 36 GPH filter, a small heater and a 10 watt PC light. I think the 'nem isn't happy because the light doesn't have a reflector on it so a lot of the light is lost.

I'm going to get some more rock(don't have much now) for it also. Just wondering, what sort of small shrooms would do well in there? I was thinking some yumas would be nice since they don't like my larger tank's lighting(65 watts pc on a 20 gal, melted a few of them from UNDER the rocks>_>)

try some fla rics..

if you want it to be *full* of mushrooms some of those common ones like the solid colors or striped ones would probably take off too

Full or slightly spaced out looking is fine with me.

I may try a FL ric if I can find some(don't have the cash at the moment for another order, I don't think. . .) Hmm. May see if the store I go to has any regular shrooms next time I'm in there.

Also, what should I feed it? I'm assuming for a tank without(at the moment anyway) inverts/fish(well, ever for the fish) that I'll need something more than the lights, right?

Yumas might be a little tricky in such a small tank. They don't seem to react well to changes in water quality and we all know how fast water quality can change in a pico. If you go without a fish, keep it topped off pretty well, and you don't feed your corals too often then you might be ok though. Just my 2 cents.
