Pretty sure @MERKEY has one as well.
The shrooms my lfs brings in with bean bag pattern and markings are orangeish
They take pictures like the one @danieyella posted in regular light.
Turn pink in heavy blue spectrum lighting.
Id love to have one in the mix for sure. Lfs seems to have them pretty regularly though so I've been going after the stuff he's been trying to hide and keep for himself haha.

Peep Magic Carpet throwing insane shags:D Finally found sweet spot for monster shroom lower left- She is one of original shrooms to my system that has never dropped a baby. Ive taken 2 or 4 good babies from her now. This shroom would be an epic addition to anyone's reef. Super non evasive and just gets monstrous. Easily pushing 6-7" before upgrade and really starting to settle into new digs. Wifes says its a forest green color. Looks alot darker than that to my eyes. Love the pattern in it though. Not sure on species.

My bro i can def appreciate the modesty but I see that Flame you be throwing over there. You got the wife planning Rock o Earls over here haha that 180 is going to be insane im sure. Cant wait to see what you make of it.
This upgrade has been challenging and have learned alot from it.
Whats your plan are you swapping systems and full upgrade like mine or taking it slow and cycling and stretching it out?

I'm planning to remove the sump on a Thursday, clean it and install it in the sump stand. 120 will be working with a Rubbermaid tub sump short term. I'm be able to Connect plumbing and start leak testing once the sump is installed. . I'll have it running all Friday to work out the kinks and get some initial flow dialed in.
Saturday AM will start a methodical break down and transfer from 120 upstairs, to the waiting 180.

That's the plan at least until I get punched in the face.

Quick update. Good news it seems like most shrooms have fully acclimated to transition. Most haven't looked better. Some are starting to cup looking for MOAR LAMP. The addition of the sand and steady dosing of Ions has gotten mag to stabilize for me. A little high at 1600 but ok with that. We will see if A4R can keep the number within acceptable levels here in next week. Shrooms love mag or whatever is happening at 1500. Water changes are going to become a regular thing here. May even get set up to AWC a cpl gallons a day. Nothing replenishes trace elements and keeps them stabil better than water changes it seems.
Anyhow. Bad news is im dealing with low PH now that I put cover on tank. Def the lid if I take it out within 24hrs im back to 8.2-.3 So im thinking im going to add another frame to bottom lid with 1/4" louvers for better gas exchange when fan kicks on to regulate temps. For now I have a small air stone in res helping but its raising a little too high that some shrooms don't like.
Also thinking about letting go one of my OG Roxanne moms. Cant keep up with all the babies I just put a bunch on plugs and she's already dropped 3 or 4 new ones. Few of her babies dropped a cpl as well haha.

Blah Blah Blah GOT Shrooms?

Getting ready to go on another booger makingathon:D Few foot boogers already loose on some discs and tiles i need to secure. Godzilla finally dropped a nugget about 2 weeks ago. Its already a baby shroom. Cant believe how fast and hardy this godzilla is im hoping it just keeps popping babies off from here on out. I am going to start turn her disc on the tile to make her walk back into the light:D

The bean bag types are nice. Remind me of hammers. Im curious what they look like in whites though. One of my lfs brings them in quite a bit. Look alot like the pic @danieyella posted in whites but had one that turned pink in blues.
Yup. I need me a nice bean bag too.
No pun intended!!!
