WWC Bounce care

[fishview]

Hi all,

I pulled the trigger and getting a WWC bounce. I know it should be easy, but any tips for caring?

Some people said high flow, some low flow. Please give some tips on flow, light, feed and how fast it grow. Pictures will be nice. I will update with mine once I have it. :D


Thanks,
Peter

My po4 is ~0.00. Need to feed a lot more. This is the mother:

I never fed any of my bounce mushroom.

In my tank I have them placed near the top, with low flow.

How fast does yours grow? How long do you have it? Any pictures?

Thanks,

Not too long I frag them. I sell them when they are about an 1.5 in and that usually takes 2-3 months

That was before the I fragged them, buddy don't waste your time feeding.

I am getting great results...btw I know who you bought your coral from, vpham is great guy! he has a nice collection

my experience with the bounce was like this. I had my bounce for 4 months and grew to about 3" in diameter from a 1" frag. When I fragged it into 5 parts they grew faster and are now about 3" each frag after a month. So I guess the more you frag them the faster they grow.

I keep mine under lower flow I'd say, about 100 par LEDs which is on the side of my frag tank. Can't feed it, it does not accept food or at least in my tank I can't keep any foods on it long enough for it to accept it. I bought mine in March as a tiny half nub and it's a solid 2" round now. I need to frag it but I'm being lazy and need to make a good fragging container. I have a plan. lol.

I concur with rlman41299

Just out of curiosity, how much do you sell a small bounce shroom frag for?

 

[phantomreefing]

Nothing more than 300

Nothing more than 300

Thanks

Thanks guys for the great details. Yes, it was from vpham. Fragging 5 from all from the mouth, right? How do you mount them after fragging?

make sure that when you frag it, frag it with it's feet attached. Kinda hard for them to attach when you totally just frag them and wait for them to attach. That's how I did mine.
