Do These Mushrooms Look Alright

va_blue_stang · 09/07/2009, 11:57 AM

I decided to put a couple of pictures on here for you all to look at to see if my wifes mushrooms are looking ok. I'm hoping they don't have too much light on them. Right they are placed on the bottom with 4x65 watt power compacts on them from about 30" above.

Thanks for the help we're just a little cautious with our first coral. They have have been in the tank for about 2 weeks now.

Nice Mushroom, they look very healthy. I have them on a Normal T12 bulb before and they were thriving, survive 90F water these are some hardy critters.

be careful, if those are the red ones you see around everywhere, they spread like mad. I mean crazy.

Thanks for looking and the help. Are the lights I mentioned too bright for them or will they be ok with them?

Not to bright, they will be fine

I have the same mushrooms in my 120 gal. and your lights are not too bright. As stated by Small Alien the will spread like CRAZY!!! I have tried everything to slow the spread but I have come to believe that a nuclear warhead couldn't stop them. They look nice at first; they later become a bit of pain.
