So as I've mentioned, newer to owning a reef tank, 1 year and 4 months. Just a quick question, are you considered a "salty old dawg" when you get to the point where you just splash some gunk, algae, or something and it lands on your face or lip and it doesn't bother you anymore, or you'll lick your lip since you forgot.

I was cleaning the skimmer, it splashed and landed on my face. Totally forgot about it and was continuing what I was doing and just licked my lip and realized I didn't wash up after that. Not fazed at all, which feels like a milestone in reefing.

@Thuan Looks like it. Mined popped a baby since I got it, much smaller than that, but definitely a baby on the side in that picture.
If you are going to grab it, don't forget to use the discount code when paying. I'm starting to get into mushrooms, just bought my third from SBB as a mystery this sale. I'm hoping they grow quickly which I think shrooms do, planning on using them for trading with some local reefers if they can grow fast enough. Still learning more about growing them.

Haha, I don't know. I've had mine from the new years sale in January since Jan 18th. Similar to you, I'm still trying to figure out mushrooms. I have read that rhodactis can take more light than discosoma, which I think is how people get them to bounce. No idea what @SBB Corals keeps their mushrooms under for lighting. I have one that had nice bounce and put it in the shade and they started to lessen, so put it in full light on the bottom and it is looking good. The super saiyan I just got I still have in the shade, got to figure out where to put it soon.

No kidding!!! What par are those under. Also, I'd love to see a full tank shot of your tank. You seem to buy all sorts of things.
I don't measure par. The sunkist is in my 180 LPS. The 65 is mixed
