Update

Here are couple more pics, the Xenia is starting to look really healthy and I believe the Trumpet is starting to split. Just being patient and enjoy watching everything the grow. I started using Reef Plus this week as well. I've read about some people on other forums having good success using it.

Mushroom

Here's a pic of a couple mushrooms that I got from Beau. These grow amazingly fast as it was only about a 1/2" two weeks ago and now is close to 2". Anybody know the name of this mushroom?
Thanks,

Looking good! went to city pets?
or back to fishcraze?

 

[cichlidtx]

Nah, just going to let everything grow for awhile. No $.

 

[flexrac]

those yellow polyps you have on the eggcrate, will grow on it, watch them closely.

Nice job

I have a 12G nano too. Will post pics soon. Yours looks terrific

Love the story from shell to this.

Do you still have standard lighting? I am looking at upgrade but can't decide on going from 48 to 72 or 96 (nanotuners). I would like for my monti cap to grow

 

[cichlidtx]

Well the standard on this tank was 1x18. The ballast was bad, so I went ahead and upgraded the ballast to 2x24 and modified the hood for the additional lamp. I have another 12dx that I think I'm going to go 3x24w. The nanotuners kit is nice because you have the parts in one kit but is 2x the cost of doing it myself and I can have each bulb on its own switch. Thanks for the comments and look forward to seeing your tank.

I am first in line for shroom frags.

 

[flexrac]

let me say, these pictures suck! this tank is so beautiful in person, i'm going to do some macro on it soon.

 

[DiabloVolitan]

hey man im looking at ur star polys... looks like u might need to start adding some iodine to the tank or coral accel or FUEL those both have worked great for me

 

[cichlidtx]

I'm currently using Reef Plus weekly. I'm using a lower dose than recommended, maybe I will try increasing the dose. The mat has been growing quite fast, is it the polyp extension you see issues with. Let me know what you see, as this is my first try at SW, so I'm always game to learn more.

Thanks
