Heres that picture of the Poletti I've been owing you
Taken a minute to get thus new lamp broken in but she's finally starting to get settled in for me again!
No filters just how she looks on the garden!

Yes this is a dbl post of the Poletti lineage Jawbreaker I posted last time.
Man this shroom is on a whole other level. You would have to see a regular JB in color comparison.
I'm especially fond of this shroom considering it made it through everything I could throw at it. Had a minor set back. Tons of changes to my system.
And finally getting settled back in!
Time to get her to her own spot in the garden and hope she over populates the world

Weekly Sunday update and few pix from garden.
Just really happy the way everything is finally working.
Man the lows are low but when it starts coming together the highs are better.

Aftermath of Nassarius snail stealing mysis from Poletti Missed the dramatic part of it snatching mysis from its mouth but my shrooms have food competitors for sure

Thank you @TriggerFinger
Its been a long last few months!
They seemed to have began to bounce back when i elevated my phosphates and since they have stabilized.
Nothings moving. Nitrates 15-20. Phosphates .15
Getting bored going to have to add some more shrooms to the garden
Just may be some pink ones lol

Yes on the pink!! Don’t forget me and your wife already talked about it so did you only end up doing the cipro (i think it was cipro, I’ve been up since 3:40 am and it’s been a long day) on the one JB?

Been a bit since I updated this thread. Lots of changes yet again. Lol seems like it never stops!
Took off side equalizer tubes to allow for direct backflow to sump. Was having hard time getting surface to skim on left table.
Problem fixed finally its been driving me crazy since I set this thing up.
Also added another skimmer to second sump in right hand corner.
Now its basicly working like 2 separate systems that are connected.
Anyhow here's what it looks like now. Somewhere around version 10 lol.
Wife taught me a little trick on how to take pictures with magnifying glass.
I don't like filters. Cant stand looking at my shrooms any other way than they look on the tables as anything else just looks fake to me and wouldn't want to give people false impressions here.
Still trying to get ID on this guy. I think I narrowed it down to Uranium bounce after seeing it in another thread today.
Was labeled as Toxic. I dont really care one way or another as it was a freebie in a pack I recieved from a reefer here.
Another one that was labeled Unknown Bounce-
Jersey Bounce
Don't mind the uglies your seeing here. As soon as my ribs heal up I'm tearing all that sand and crushed coral back out of table and crushing up live rock and starting over! Should have went with gut as it was my original intention to use crushed live rock and I should have listened!
Stay tuned lol

Your wife is a smart cookie! Like a mini port hole viewer that doesn’t cost $119!!
The shrooms are looking beautifulllll!! Can’t believe your changing your substrate again ;Hilarious
Are you ordering more rock or crushing stuff from the sump?

Haha yeah she's always one upping me on everything I don't get it lol
And honestly I am not looking forward to changing things up again. I really don't want to i just don't know what else to do. Cant stand the way it looks dirty. I can vacuum it twice a day if I wanted to. Fighting cyano now. Not sure why all my parameters are in check and stable and haven't moved since last time i posted them. Does not grow anywhere else besides on sand of crushed coral.
Think I should wait it out? Lol patience is not with me right now. Its alot of work to vacuum twice a day!
