Quick update here. The table swaps have been invaluable here. The only sign of any algae growing in shroom tables are a couple splotches growing here and there and some on the racks but I expected that.
0 algae growing in old shroom tables. Whites turned off blues at 100%:)
On the look out for a cpl juvenile lawnmower blennies to finish off whats needed for shroom tanks:)
For now red corris wrasse, spotted mandarin and runy red dragonette are doing work on pods pretty much all day long!
No issues with red corris yet. Hes probably too small to do anything yet but will be a great addition to sump when we get there:)
Bicolor blenny is digging his new tank mates.

Really liking this table swap:) Not much clean up at all. Honestly I don't mind a little hair algae growing on the racks right now. Nothing a hose can't clean up simply siphoning over the racks. A little left behind gives my wrasse an oppurtunity to clean pods from it! Got a baby 6line in second table now. All they do is eat pods all day long. Problem solved.
No clean up at all in old mushroom tables. Just a little film algae starting. I'm not even going to touch it. Thinking back I let the first 2 tables go through all the phases and kept up as good as I could and it all kinda worked itself out with all the rock in them. Hoping the same for these other tables cause I have big plans for them this year.
Mama gave the green light to scoop up the rest of the shrooms I want in my collection. Little does she know its probably never going to end hahahaha.
Anyhow quick quarter shot picture of some of my favorites. Going to be working on putting them all in own condos here this week. Babies everywhere gonna be out of control soon;)
Got the materials just gotta find the time!

Started gluing things down on discs. Even made a cpl makeshift condos for the REDS @TriggerFinger they are starting to become totally out of control :) Condos are going to help me free up some room as well im already seeing spots I can squeeze them in and strategically maneuvere some of my more light demanding shrooms:) I got some condos half the size as reds are in and all high dollar collectors will get there own home. These little baby boogers don't like to be handled and will fall off rocks if not secured and handled more properly. Luckily I've found all of them ive lost somehow.
Idea is find sweet spots and settum and forgettum this year and see what how many babies they can make:)
Everything's kinda mad right now but took some pictures anyway.

Really getting excited about this shroom! Got it as super duper ultra premium aussie no name :) for whatever that is.
I traded one of her babies for Neptune bounce not long ago. Its now started to develop blue streaks to go along with dark purplish red streaks in other system.
Checking out mama today and she's starting to throw bright green spots and streaks now:) Would be awesome to see some blue to go along with it.
Kinda wish I didn't give up that baby now!

Started moving shrooms into condos and forever home sweet spots.
Freeing up all kinds of room on racks:)
Ripped another Sunkist off the rack while I was at it;)
