Thanks.. I am still pretty new and I don't recognize all of the different fish on sight yet. Got some homework to do now..
To sidetrack a little, that was obviously a long shift today, good for you, in going in. How is your shipment? Not shipped yet hopefully?

Are you referring to my thread about the new corals? It is supposed to arrive Tuesday.

As for my work shift, that is normal. I am a truck driver and typically work 14 hours a day, plus 73 mile commute each way.

No worries, but this isn't my thread. This is an amazing eclectic collection. I have a decent monochromatic green bounce collection.
Well then... while I've got ya. Mushrooms have always done well in my minimalist system. No sump, HOB skimmer runs a few hours a day, no refugium, just LR and some powerheads the old Jaubert system essentially. 2 T5's with a bit of LED to supplement. 90g.
I want some more colour on the reef and the Ricordia or Rhodactus intrigue me. Especially at their attractive price point. What would you suggest as far as species to brighten things up? I'm in Canada, and there are a few really good retailers here, but unfortunately we can't import as a hobbiest direct from US....

So I'm unfortunately the wrong person to ask this as well but let's throw up the bat signal @LRT

I've been reefing since 2021.

With that said, I've got rhodis, yumas, discos all in a back up tank with crap sand, old black box lights. Crazy param swings and the green bounces seem to prefer that tank to my 5.5 year established reef tank I just purchased.

Hello Everybody

I must admit I am addicted to Collecting high end Mushrooms. We have some mushroom dominant tanks and have been hoarding them :) We finally feel our collection is decent enough to share...

We are happy that r2r has started a mushroom specific thread and exited to share some of these with you. We are also excited to see what we can find in the future and will be posting things as we can find them :)

Here is a few pics that are worth sharing!

I think what @Lost in the Sauce is trying to say is some other members here with more mushroom and reefing experience could lend a hand in suggesting some stuff for you.
This is Shanes thread showcasing his collection @SBB Corals.

And @LRT would be an amazing member to suggest some bright colored shrooms for your tank :)

He really should change his header to "connoisseur of mushrooms"

Lol after seeing some of these collections I must sit back. Honestly I learned from YOU guys and still am:)
This is an amazing collection idk where to start. Super stable system id imagine and then hope and pray that I did everything right cause each one of those baskets added up is probably worth more than my yearly salary im sure.
@Reefer1978 Can we see some?

Good eye. Its also the most expensive.
Aside from some of the mother shrooms in any category....

These are my most prized.
Hoarded over the last decade from @kmaintl :)

Nice collection Giant. I see we must have a similar supplier for some species! I'm not huge on the bounce as some are, but looking into getting a few Ricordia or Rhodactus very soon.
Mine seem to spread and propagate well, without being invasive. And no warfare to speak of with the leathers in their midst.

Yes it looks like we do have a similar supplier. I hope my mushrooms grow good and don't fight for space with other corals.
