CrocoDillon Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Why would a mushroom looks like a trumpet? Does he want food? Here are some before pics and how he looks now. I have 70watt MH over a 15g reef. And this is the trumpet look, it's an older image, he's now even more like a trumpet: I'm thinking about feeding phyto to my tank for small clams and feathers dusters. I think shrooms eat that too, or should I try artemia shrimp? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 reaching for light. I have a ric that does that at times. I drop a little shrimp in its mouth to calm the bugger down. nothing to worry about Link to comment
CrocoDillon Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Yeah that what it looks like... I'm hatching some shrimp right now. But how come he's reaching for light with 70watt MH? I thought shrooms needs medium light. If my lighting doesn't even meet the requirments for a shroom, how would I ever add Xenia or a nice clam? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 dunno. perhaps it's looking for food as well. I have 2 150 watters over my tank and the shroom stretches at times (although mine is at the bottom of the tank, it is still a ton of light). Link to comment
CrocoDillon Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 thnx, i'll try to get him down with some food Link to comment
Jordan Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Need some help on finding some good coral for a 12 gallon Nano Cube reef. It comes with 50/50 24 watt flourescent lights. Anyoen got any ideas for coral to start with Link to comment
CrocoDillon Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 or you could have started a new thread uhmm... mushrooms r small, nice and easy it's my first and only coral. they don't need much light, yeah right, thats why mine is reaching for the 70watt MH :S hehehe Link to comment
nor.cal Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 What else do you have in your tank, i have a 16-18 gal cube that im going to be using a 70w 10k mh, just wondering what you have coral wise since its similar to my setup. thanks Link to comment
CrocoDillon Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 I have nothing else yet, since I just set it up a few weeks ago. I want to get everything stable (Ca, pH and kH especially) and an auto-top-off before adding anything. My plans include a clam, pumpin Xenia, some starpolyps, some zoos and alot of Ricordea and some more shrooms. Maybe a RBTA hosting a pair of Ocellaris clowns. But they are just plans Link to comment
