Hey Guys,
I have a 29 gallon reef tank. I'm using: Lighting:
24" Nova Extreme 4x24watt (5 Months Old 3/7/11)
T5HO 2-10k/2-460nm actinics
96w total wattage
with a coralife cp750 powerhead
Since the coralife is pumpin out 750 an hour, I have a pretty high flow rate in the tank. I know mushrooms like low to flow rate and low lighting but as you can see I have pretty high of both. Would they be better in the substrate with the high flow rate and lower lighting or lower flow rate with higher lighting place closer to the top of the tank. I have my powerhead pointing towards the glass so it's not too too heavy but there's still a pretty high flow. I'm really looking for them to proliferate so I can get a little colony going and I'm wondering where the best place to put them would be!
The 1st pic is of my entire tank
The 2nd is my powerhead placement which is right under the bakpak
The 3rd is the direction of flow - the mushrooms are to the right of the pagora
the 4th is the two mushrooms.
