collegeman June 7, 2011 Share June 7, 2011 (edited) Hello, I decided to start a mushroom dominated tank since they are my favorite coral. They are in a 5.5 gallon aquarium with a current usa 36 watt t5 ho light fixture, and a hob filter that came from a picotope. The livestock includes a bicolor dottyback and 2 snails. I plan on adding 2 nicely colored hermit crabs and of course more mushrooms. The pictures were taken with my samsung camera phone so the pictures does not do the colors of these mushrooms justice. I have a few other mushroom that i did not photo since they were a little pissed. The tank is topped off with a 1/2 cup of water daily and a weekly 4 cup water change using water from my other tank. I will continue to update the thread as i add new mushrooms. Feel free to ask questions or make comments.

collegeman June 23, 2011 Author Share June 23, 2011 Wow! I am glad you are okay. I guess everyone should be extremely careful when handling any and every type of coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefs June 24, 2011 Share June 24, 2011 The tank looks great. How large the Bicolor dottyback reach when fully grown? any other filtration beside the HOB filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegeman June 28, 2011 Author Share June 28, 2011 The Bicolor should max out around 3in. The only thing i have as filtration is the HOB filter. It seems to be doing a pretty good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
