How sensitive are mushrooms/ ricordeas/ yumas to nitrates and phosphates. Looking to set up a 15g nano w/ HOB refugium,aqua clear filter. Don't have space for refugium. Will try not to overstock with fish. Try not to have a skimmer. Or do they need to have a skimmer? I have only kept FO tanks so just want to ask as how to prepare for setup. Do not want SPS, maybe after 6 months I would like a toadstool, frogspawn if tank seems stable
Want just a mushroom tank w/ goby

Tank is never big enough
Mushrooms actually like water a little "dirty" ..Well not literally but they do prefer some trates ,5-10PPM is not bad for them at all even upwards of 15 -20 ..
Yes i heard they like little dirty water as well. What about Zooanthes are they prefer the same condition?

I think toadstools and zoos would be fine in water with some trates also ,,as far as frogs and or hammers IDK ,,they are stony corals

My nano tank is very similar. I had a skimmer which I no longer use because of noise
. 2-10ppm NO3
My only filtration is bio balls in the back and live rock. My corals and anemone are fine. I did start using kalk in my ATO. It's been great no salinity swings and no problems with calcium or alk.
Soft Coral: Neon leather, Red and green recordia 10-12 different zoas Gorgonian
LPS Hard corals: Acans Bubble coral Pagoda cup Favia
Fish: Blenny, Clown
Been in this set up 8months

Ynot65 that is a sweet garden. That's what I would like to have. Also mix in what Adam has in his nano. That's what I am shooting for. This tank is for a school to put in a biology lab. Very small footprint and no space underneath. I did a thread in the nano thread as to how to setup but now looking as how to have as much diversity and what it takes to maintain it. I want this as a teaching tool and as a way to introduce kids to this hobby. My daughter spends way too much time on Instagram. :uhoh3:
