Over my main I run xr30 gen 4 pros on an AB+ slightly adjusted schedule....on my 32g cube I run a hydra 32 HD.What lights do you guys have these under?
That’s what I’m talking about! Also lots Of room to grow.View attachment 1540114View attachment 1540116
We purposely created a cove of shallow rock to accommodate mushrooms. Some of our favorite corals for sure.
Everything else ok in the tank?Not sure what’s going on with my heatwave and Mardi Gras bounce, they’re shriveled up and seem to be melting. I have them placed on the bottom of my tank, been there for over a month. Might try moving them up?
All other corals are open and happy.Everything else ok in the tank?
Have they been doing this the whole month?All other corals are open and happy.
First two weeks, mid height placement in the tank on frag racks they where fine. Then I placed them bottom, as pictured and they started downhill. They’ve been at the bottom over a month.Have they been doing this the whole month?
If thats them tucked under the overhang then I would say yes try and move them back up a little and see how they react. Even just out in more light might help. If they are on little frag plugs, sometimes they get glued and can't move.First two weeks, mid height placement in the tank on frag racks they where fine.

I’m starting to think the overhang is the culprit. I have T5s and the light does spread to them but probably not enough. I’ll try moving them out for a few days and see if that helps. The rock they’re on is separate from the main scape and I have room there from the glass. Fingers crossed that helps before I move them up.

Nice tank![]()
How do you like your hybrid setup? I'm looking to add one to my setup but my concern would be bulb replacement...not sure why thats my main concern lolI’m starting to think the overhang is the culprit.

Caribsea liverock has lots of potential for shroom scaping. A bit of epoxy and you can create some neat rock work. This arch was three pieces epoxied together.

I’ll reclaim the Realestate if I can manage to get the bubble tips off but they multiply almost as fast as I can dislodge them. I literally had to move the shrooms to the sand when the single Nem started splitting exponentially to what the colony is now.

Drop off tanks are some of my favorites, definitely on the list for a future build. Nems are amazing and dangerous because of exactly what you’re experiencing. Have your mushrooms been doing good in that lower section what’s the flow like In the drop?Caribsea liverock has lots of potential for shroom scaping.
