    More LPS invading the “mushroom”’ tank… I’m starting to get bored of mushrooms. They don’t grow that fast for me! 😩

    I do believe I can dose to supplement right? 😁 I’m doing that on my SPS tank and these sticks are extending over the water line.

    I gave up on mushrooms really — the supposed to grow fast but my “high-end” species haven’t done anything for months! I’m curious what people do for faster mushroom growth…

    IMO the "high end" ones don't grow fast. Regular ones are like weeds

    King Kong Yuma’s are regular or “high-end”? Mine produced 2 babies in 8mos. That’s it! 😢

    Things are looking great! Alk is super stable at 8dKH with a monthly 20% WC. This tank has no skimmer, no reactor, nothing. Cleaned the tank and created a torch island. Let me know what you guys think.

    Moved some high-end mushrooms around. Hope they won’t melt after moving 5 inches.

    I’ve finally figured out to make mushrooms grow faster! Just use AI … why I didn’t think about that sooner?!$&
