My Mushroom Garden Table Saga 2.0 build thread

[LRT]

Lol I missed all the notifications on my own thread cause I was too busy stalking @fishguy242 thread hahaha wow.
@MERKEY you should name her that's a beautiful shroom and unique colors. Lol Banana Split came to mind real quick. Its awesome shes dropping babies like that.
I cut just a very small piece of foot that started spreading to rock from original rubble she is perched on. So far so good. I try not to disturb the Green JB as mush as possible. She is definetely unique. That green is super bright in all light and never changes and just seems to be getting more vivid as she grows in my system I'm hoping the babies stay green and don't revert back to the orange.

How big of a piece of the foot did you cut ? Very interested

I snipped the piece and started to climb out of the cup hahah

Dude I hope it makes a baby. Mine didn't like being snipped either. Hows it doing now is she still trying to escape?
Mines been a little mad but starting to act normal again.

Alright so I've been dealing with temp swings. Never ending battle around here. Its either 115-120 degrees in the summer and the wife wants to keep it 80 degrees in the house.
Or low are getting into high 30's now and she wants to keep house temps around 70. Never ending battle im not sure why.
Anyhow had to throw another 300 watt heater now running 3x300 watts. 2 of them set at 78. The last one on auto set to 78.
Finally got it dialed around 76-78.
Must have fresh air. My skimmer air is being pulled from outside. Although if i dont keep window cracked or open for a cpl hours a day I do get surface crud that's driving me nuts.
There is a solution. Just add

more bulkheads for more overflow which i may have to do and probably should have done for 3rd table by now.
Flow is kind of an issue in these shallow tables. Too little and I do get surface crud. Too much and the shrooms don't like it. I could fix everything with more turnover through the system and more overflow back to sump I just have to get it done lol.
Been a never ending battle since I set this up.
Anyhow thats all for today haha.

Changed up flow a little so not so much top movement and splashing from return. Put pump in left hand corner on timer to run for 15 minutes periodically through day and night for top skimming.

What i need is a backflow in each corner to be done with things.

All in all things are clean just little things are bothering me now

This is what it is when you have 120lb puppy brain puppy throwing toys at you all day long

She keeps trying everyday but hasn't fallen out yet hahah

The snip did leave a booger that has "balled" up, which i take as a good sign

And no joke about @fishguy242 thread...its a wonderful place to get lost!

Here's to the boogers lol
First piece of foot i cut on tester shroom. Figured this one would take while to do anything but looks like its developing a mouth now

Look who's looking all happy today

@TriggerFinger I spy some more little feet i can cut I actually have one of these in table with rock thats dropping babies all over the rack its on. Really have to do a better job and probably get these guys in something with some rubble so they can do there thing.

 

[TriggerFinger]

Ugh! Love them!! If they like the rack then let them spread on the rack. I see frags for sale all the time with little pieces of cut egg crate glued to frag plugs. Much better than trying to scrape or pluck coral off of them.

[TriggerFinger]

That there licker seems to be a little off ;Hilarious

 

[TriggerFinger]

That red is just awesome. Not many red colored corals out there.

I have a cpl I had to cut out of racks. Those are oopsies your seeing lol. They do love the racks not sure what it is. If I didn't have to clean them I'd just let them grow all over em.
These are nice shrooms. Super fast easy growing baby making machines.. Solid bright glowing red in any light.
Holidays are almost over lol

 

[LRT]

@TriggerFinger here is my last oopsie. Second time I've torn this shroom off rack. Was just a tiny piece of foot but made a mouth now

Here's the first one lol

And original mom
