Nice, looks like a gang looking for trouble.

No aggression since it’s just them + 2 clowns, 2 Mandarins, and 1 cleaner shrimp. This is my most peaceful tank.

Once fatten up, my goal is to move all 6 to the 450gal tank with other angels & tangs! I didn’t want them to get killed at such a small size.

Looks awesome. Now all the shrooms will have tons of nitrates to grow like wildfire

I’m an optimist but you are waaaay beyond sugar-high optimist! Ha

Mushrooms haven’t taken off yet. It’s been a slow churn.

I've been eating too many jawbreakers

A buddy of mine hooked me up with an OG Godzilla this weekend so I’m super stoked!

So my bucket list:
Godzilla
King Kong
Doughboy
Jawbreakers & Eclectus
OG Bounce (this week)

Then my life will be complete…for now!

Tank looks good sir, hopefully the jawbreakers are doing well.

Wassup bro - yup, things are doing well. I’m trying to get the nems to split or move them out to make room for more mushrooms. I’m out of room! lol

Tested Alk last night, it's locked in at 8.1dkH +/- 0.1dKH while I'm dosing 7mL/day of soda ash. This tank is super stable & boring. So... I have a disease. Now I'm bored just waiting for mushrooms to grow!

What other cool mushrooms that you guys recommend?

After so many years, I finally got some Goni’s!

Bottom left is a Cotton Candy. I got it from a friend as a tiny bugger 6mos ago to try out.

I moved a colony of Strats from the frag tank (too much flow?) to this tank and it is loving life! I can clearly see that the colony got a few more polyps in 3 weeks.

I’ve had terrible luck with strats. Started with 1 polyp. Then it great to 6, and then some melted…I’m down to 1 polyp again.

Bummer - good luck man!

I’ve started with 1 and now 16 - ain’t bad for a year of growth. However, compared to other zoas, they are definitely slow growers!

 

[Alf]

They grow really fast for me. I’ve been basically trying to give them away lately. I have like two colonies of over 20 that started from a couple polyps months ago.
