where to place shrooms

motlot77 · 02/06/2007, 02:06 PM

got some shrooms from my lfs and they had them under either halides, or vho, can't remember which, but they were in shallow water.

where do i want them in my tank with pc's? i think i've read they do well in low light?

also, what type of flow? i think i also read low flow right?

i have them now about 1/3 of the way up on my 20 tall pretty much exposed to the light in moderate flow. some are lifting a bit due to the flow.

should i move them?

Mine grow in the bottom 1/4th of the tank (24" deep). But, the largest one in the tank is in the upper 1/3rd. Flow is low in both spots. I think that once they acclimate, you will be able to put them anywhere under PC's.
