Ratvan Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 So I cant decide if I want to trade away the mother green Yuma's or the babies or some kind of combination.... Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Right, 2nd half of Delivery taken (Zoamarines - UK Based) one looks a little worse for wear but all look pretty decent condition. No Freebies in this order 😞 Emerald Jewel Ricordea Some nice Red Macro Algae also came in on Frag Plug Lava Lamp Discosoma Mushroom: Doesn't look too hot at the moment Opal Sparkle Discosoma Metallic Lava Yuma (Top down) will take better photos later. (Probably tomorrow) Insane Toxic Ultra Green Discosoma Current FTS So now I have probably another 2 weeks dipping every 4-5 days before I take everything off the frag plugs and start mounting and placing for final growth. I think I am now happy with my stocking (apart from CUC needs replenishing) unless something very nice pops up at a good price I think I will focus now on additions to my 5.5G Cube. 5 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Good luck with the new mushies. I am curious are you going to keep the frag rack or will you eventually take it out. 2 Quote Link to comment

I have a few weeks to work it out. Moved the Lava Lamp to the 5.5G as it is sliming currently. Need to pick up some carbon but at least the 5.5g was empty so dont have to worry too much 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

About the only thing that touches the pain without leaving me a total Zombie. I just get the giggles and the munchies but not out of it. A shame i still have to deal with an "independent chemist" to get it though 3 1 Quote Link to comment

It was a godsend all times I've broken myself. I'm allergic to pain meds so that is what I used for pain relief. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've just noticed that all of the "live Rock Rubble" that the Mushrooms have been shipped on all seems to be some form of Acan (possibly?) Skeleton. Every single one not on a Plug. Can mushrooms kill Acans? 2 Quote Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Have you seen the golden dragon mushroom? Was about to get one last week but someone beat me to it. Now I want one even more. Hahah 1 Quote Link to comment

Today's addition (minus Metallic Lava) cost me the same amount (£37.49) well close enough. Might try and trade for some at some point in the future, if i can find a Frag Swap or Reefer who wants one nearby 2 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Final post for today. Lava Lamp has stopped sliming, just looks irritated now. Will see how it looks in the morning and introduce it back to the Pico Finally my Red Discosoma has opened up after a week in the tank. It's so cute (3cm Frag Plug for Scale) 3 Quote Link to comment

There are some red / orange rhodactis that should be around your price point. Hope you score some nice ones later! 1 Quote Link to comment

Slime Free Lava Lamp this morning so added it to the pico and snapped a few shots of the current favourites 5 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Well arrived at work this morning and have some new issues. Some of my mushrooms decided to go for a wander around the tank. Not an issue luckily most were off frags. I've put them on a rock in sheltered flow. Next issue temperature. The tank feels hot to the touch which and therm tops out at 84. This was worrying so have done a very fast water change to get temp down. Will pull out, clean and retest heater this lunch time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh Well. Little Red, Ultra Toxic Green and Lava Lamp Mushroom in very low flow area, might see if i can get something to go over the top of this rock Yeah yeah glass needs scraping, detritus needs basting etc etc. Bigger issues ATM. DON'T JUMP YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR (my money on this one next) Might angle that one onto a rock see if it will help me out, something needs to 5 Quote Link to comment
Wonderboy Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I hope you get the temp figured out. Mushrooms tend to walk off plugs quite often when we move them to new systems; when I catch one stretching its foot to do so, I often razor off a small piece of the foot while it's running. 95% of the time, that piece of foot left on the plug grows into a clone. Sometimes, they will do this by themselves - sometimes not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I shuffle mine around whenever it throws a tantrum and starts walking lol, put it in opposite flow, more or less light. Seems if I can keep the bugger guessing it more or less gives up and stays put. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Wingy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Mine has been wandering for weeks. I just let it do its thing now. 1 Quote Link to comment
