Thanks broseph I'll tell you that Nitrate OD back in the day really set me back man. System was all crazy and unstable for awhile but seems like its finally working through it. Was even able to bring a cpl shrooms back from the dead lol.
This years plan. Stability. Keeping racks clean. Leaving them alone and let them do there thing!

Had an epiphany the other day at work and decided to do a deep clean on racks and tables. Took a toothbrush to frag plugs as well tried to remove every bit of hair algae I could find! Really do have a pod problem. They are messy and molt all over the place and it gets annoying real fast. As well as nasty to look at lights out. The adults get huge like medium size krill lol. They hide out in the hair algae.
Anyhow I figured if I cleaned it up it would help wrasse keep pod population in check.
Have a bunch of stomatella snails starting to pop up and figured maybe if I clean the plugs they will help keep my plugs clean.
Problem solved! Most my plugs are where cleaned over night You can see all the white spots on the plugs they started cleaning as opposed to brown out lol
Wrasse is on rock duty to rid rock of all pods. Its a wonderful sight to watch him catch pods and shake them violently on rocks and shred them to pieces
Feels good having things cleaned up as well.
Gonna try and do a better job and keep up on keeping a tighter ship around here.

That is the same thought I had on the reef tank that the shrooms were not real happy in. Added snails, Vibrant, Microbacter 7, blowing stuff off frequently and more water changes. The shrooms that didnt look really good got moved to another tank for now.
Cheers! Mark

I ordered some reef flux. And going to do better job at stabilizing my Nitrates now. Keep them around 10-15 ppm is goal. Keep racks and plugs clean.
I'm only resorting to reef flux cause I think I let it go to far and quick dose to help balance things out. I overdosed my system with Nitrates about 8 months ago. Sky high off red sea charts even after almost changing all my water out. Been a journey for sure.
Things are settling down now but I think I put the balance out of whack a bit for sure.

Better picture of plugs stomatella snails are doing nice damage on.
Pretty much woke up to clean plugs today

Some moms and baby pictures
My first foot laceration cut baby and mom

Can't believe I let a baby of this mom go. I did come up on Neptune bounce though according to kid I traded with his is starting to go blue from center of cap with purple streaks!
I got green coming in on mom and dark purple starting on newest baby Really wish I would have kept that baby man!

@DonTavo27 ive seen your posts about manipulating your shrooms by propping them up on other discs etc.
Our minds must think alike because I've been playing with that for some time now and it for sure works real well.
Once they start walking they don't stop and my plan is allow them to walk a bit then cut the foot and repeat. Can probably get 2 babies a month on some of my shrooms by doing that.

Cb Radioactive and Uranium Bounce starting to settle in now
