Will they still be able to reproduce with epoxy gluing them down?!

Im not sure if this was already answered this post is a book lol but if your mushrooms are basically stretching up, its probably because they are reaching for the light. I had some as hitchhikers before i got my t5 set up and mine would look like little trees, the would spread out completely flat across the top and stand up very tall when I got my T5's they stopped stretching both across and out now they just kind of open up and sit almost flat like they do in my LFS and in all the pictures ive seen of healthy shrooms. I have bee reading like 6 pages of posts and Im new to reef set ups myself but a filter that is under everything does sound like an unneeded headache. not now as everything is new but once things start growing and poping up and spreading, you are going to have to basically rearrange your tank every time you need to do maintenance on it. If i am following along correctly ...If that is the case, your reef is going to struggle over time If its one thing I learned is that my tank after 6 months is nothing like it was at 3 months and you cant even tell it is the same tank form month number one. the fish and coral is the big pretty stuff but everything form your sand to the rocks to the algae that will grow on the equipment in the tank is alive, the fish and coral make up a small percentage of the "world" that is your tank
