Info:
- 32 G Fluval
- 2 1050gph eflux CURRENT USA pump set at 20% each)

My mushroom is partially attached to a rock and spends most of its time with part of its body in the air (See picture). It doesn't seem possible that the flow would be causing this but should I find another spot for the mushroom or does it not care. Thanks!

It's been my experience that they'll pretty much grow anywhere. I'd just leave it alone.

We have them in several locations in our tank. They shrink up really small overnight and then stretch out all crazy during the day. They get pretty good flow in our 125. I'm not good with taking pics of inhabitants yet but you can see the stretch.

Thanks, on the topic of flow, I can’t see to find the right balance. I have some fish that like a lot of flow (clowns) and one that doesn’t (possom wrasse). 32 g tank with 2 current USA Felix 1050 GPO and a sicce 1.5

I have my power heads set at like 10-30%. While they are not moving any sand around should I bump them up to 40-60%during the day?

50% would be 500 gph. Only a few frags and nothing that require a lot of flow. I was thinking 20x at most which would put me at 640 gph which is about 30% for each power head.

Am I doing that math correctly?
