What's wrong with your tank? I put a green one in my little nano cube with all of Sam's "mega growing" mushrooms and it opened up nice and stood out in the cround...

 

[tangdiver]

Did your aquarium place go out of business....Or really score....

Where did the rics come from?

Thanks,

Grant

 

[tangdiver]

They would become an issue with the SPS I am affarid of.

Chuck, those are fantastic. You got the sweet source on those for sure. And Marc's right, be careful what you wish for! :lol:

The fact is, with your bio-load, collecting this type of coral is much more suited to your situation than SPS.

 

[Goodwin9]

Grant...Can you tell from the pictures whether or not if the reds are actually recordeas? Got an opinion?

I'm not completely sure if I understand your statement. Will the mushrooms add to the bio load, or help reduce it?

Mushrooms like dirty water, while SPS like pristine water.

No wonder they seem to do very well in my tanks...Should be interesting to see them flourish in the tanks.

And I can't keep them alive. It was really vexing to me back when I tried several colonies in different areas of my tank only to see them melt and disappear. They are beautiful Chuck.

Is it just ricordeas, or all mushrooms that you have had trouble with? If I understand things right, ricordeas don't require nearly the amount of light other corals do. Too much light in your tank for them?

Tangdiver suggested that I should load this 75 up with recordeas & anemones. Do you have any idea if they would get along? With the variety of colors I received, that might make for a very colorful tank.

 

[jnarowe]

Ricordias. I wouldn't put mushrooms in my tank! I think mushrooms wouldn't grow well either. Just too much light in my system especially for the rics, and the water doesn't have enough nutrients either.

Anemones can pretty much kill most anything, but I have noticed that clams are unaffected by them and I don't know about mushrooms.

 

[Goodwin9]

 

[tangdiver]

The anomenes would kill things but have them be far enough away and a really cool tank idea.

PS yep I think they are yumas....

Eric, man what can I say...cheap...always looking for a deal.

Even if it was twice the price the Ric would be worth it.....five mouths=large leaf.

That looks really nice, Chuck.
