Nano Mushroom Tank

slugwall · Feb 28, 2012

Here is my newly cycled 5.5gl Nano Mushroom Tank.
I was wondering how big your mushrooms get... the big one on the right measures 3.5 inches across...

Thanks for looking...

I will get better pics tonight with my dslr t2i, but the LR is 16lbs in the center

Very nice. Any ideas on livestock? Like CUC and/or fish?

I wasn't wanting anything in there except for a cleanup crew... I need to get the waving hands out of there to make it a full fledge mushroom tank
Another Pic...taken with IPhone 3gs

Anyone out there with dedicated tanks to one type item or more?

Blake11rebel · Feb 29, 2012

I dont have a tank dedicated to them but I enjoy my mushrooms. When you remove the wavy hands are you going to get some different types of mushrooms to give some contrast? I like your tank

I have a couple ricordea 2 that I will throw in there tonight. I will post pics when they are acclimated to the tank. Thanks for the update.

I have a couple ricordea florida and a green frilly. I like the yumas but I dont have any yet. adding the ricordea will give nice color and different texture

cool tank man! I have a ten gallon with lots of mushrooms too, but there is xenia and zoas as well.

Nice! I have thought about doing this in the past but never put it together. As for how big mushrooms get I have some Yumas that are 5" across and some frilly greens that are 6-8" across I also have some cool purple and yellow rhodactis that are about 5" or so.

Kathleen · Feb 29, 2012

Wow, how do you think they grew so big? Do you spot feed them?

slugwall · Mar 1, 2012

I spot feed them 1 once a week with a little fish flake morter/pestle with frozen brine. This is tiny amounts... other than that they are on thier own.

I added in some recordea's so I will add some pics once then have established themselves in the tank. Hopefully it's soon...
