Dear juice - yes I had heard they were stretching up towards the light. I think my shrooms are healthy, they are almost alway's flat or even curved downwards sometimes it's just that they occasionally curl up or in on themselves. Some do this more than others. In terms of the undergravel filtration, this is only part of the system, but I don't take everything out when I do hoovering/filter changes, I just move things aside bit by bit. Even with your tank you surely must have to move things otherwise how do you suck up the grub at the bottom of the tank? I haven't got any sand - but the tank is healthy because it has cycled from day one with the live rock I put in and hasn't spiked. Also, everything is showing signs of health and nothing has died or become ill. My previous tank, a tropical one, was a nightmare compared to this. It has been going really well so why worry about what might happen? Also, the biorb is selling fast with few returns, those folk that have problems usually don't follow the guidelines anyway. The general feedback I am told has been mostly good, but because this simple system is different to most complex marine tanks people think it will not work. Mine has so far - if moving livestock upsets marine systems then how come people transport fish/corals etc from the store to their tank without everything dying?!!! Your tank looks good but I like to have more variety in mine, i.e. plants, shells etc. Each to their own, you have a lot of live rock which is good and the water is very clear; mine is too. Thanks for your views on shrooms.
