It’s a journey, always changing and learning. That’s the fun! I’ve still only got one lonely blue shroom in my display. No babies and it’s only gone from a pencil eraser to nickel sized. I’m trying to hold off on these big $$ shrooms until I know they will be ok.
Ok in your system? You know I added many of the bounces while my system was still cycling. Shrooms are super hardy. Especially the bounces. They just like stable. Will do well in a wide range of nutrients.
That being said i think JB's prefer the mature systems being ran on a much tighter lower nutrient system.
Still have the cipro JB just because lol

Quick update on Minecraft ;)
Been a super long journey with her.
Before I decided to dip her in Cipro bath she was literally melting and falling apart when handled.
She got a few baths just for the heck of it.
Another thing ive done with her is melafix dip last month and she just got another.
Matter of fact thought I'd share i try to dip my shrooms occasionally in melafix.
No reason other than I have seen bristleworms try to take up near the foot on some and although they don't hurt the shrooms necessarily. They do agitate them. Melafix totally eradicates them everytime. As well as pods unfortunately.

Here's Minecraft mom today :) :) :)
Quickly falling back in love with her.

Already seeing a huge difference and shrooms are starting to acclimate back to clean environment:) Can probably see in my pictures leading up to this change but most where cupping. I believe to keep there bodies off imature crushed coral and sand and just general overall dirty floor. It probably didn't help everytime i tried to clean sand bed whatever kicked up onto shrooms they did cup and check out for food source.
They are laying back down now. Enjoying life.

Very nice and clean!!!
Thank you man! For now. I had a system down to where I'd change out racks with clean racks ever cpl weeks and it worked well. Plus idk what it is but maybe the just prefer the smooth flat surface over sharp rough terrain? Would make sense for soft smooth skin. Just a hunch on mine. Although I do see alot of nice garden with shrooms growing all over rock. Probably would have been different here if I started with ocean rock.

Anyhow it is starting to feel like i made the right choice.

The colony in pic #2 is very reminiscent of the Frankenstein shroom, where did you get it? I feel like it could have some major potential.
I have been doing some research lately on the formation of bounce vesicles, it's very misunderstood by most but they seem to be caused by high amounts of UV in the spectrum. Older mother shrooms have been bombarded with it for longer and thusly are more susceptible to it and can be permanently altered by it. On the flip side, babies are also susceptible to it at they have no built up resistance to the UV and can be damaged easily if in full exposure.
At least, that's what I've come to believe from my research. So at some point, I'm hoping to try and force-bounce a few test shrooms by exposing them to UV a couple of seconds per day. It should be a cool experiment for sure.
Sorry for the hijack lol I just thought you may be interested to hear about that.

Oh man hi Jack away! Are you referring to this guy? Ive been trying to get into too many convos on bouncing, lighting, feeding and just about anything I can think of on bounces! Oddly enough havent found much on it besides what I'm personally seeing in my system.
Love to talk about it more and see what you find out:)

If this is the guy it was labeled Toxic bounce that came from a reefer. I think it was mislabeled.
Can't find much on it.

I'm actually talking about these ones here!

They have the pink rim of the Frank but with the crazy orange enter tentacles! It would be interesting to see if it will bounce for you.

Daily picture dump:)
@Mr_Knightley I am playing with violet setting. I turned it up 1% yesterday and today and noticed immediate difference in magic carpet and quite a few others far as perkiness goes. Going to try and see how far I can reasonably push it next cpl weeks.
