Awesome bro! Better get those Kmaintl they are trying to escape haha. Dude what are you running your par at around surface? I noticed your Kmaintls dig the actinic t5 are you supplementing lighting?
What kind of lights and schedule are over those guys? I turned my lights down so nothing on floor is running hotter than 75 par average and they all reacted well to it. The st tomas and yumas do seem to do alot better in higher par.

The clear ones in front i just made and put suction cups in. Im redesigning the smaller ones to have plastic coated magnets epoxied on.

The other baskets are just sitting on frag racks and semi secured from tipping by the tank rim.

Lol they float away ALL the time. Theyre all over my tank below.
I have 2 hydra 52 non HDs on my 40 breeder tank with diffuser paper kits installed and theyre about 18" from the surface. Theyre at about half power right now in acclamation mode cause my nutrients are stabilizing after my recent skimmer offline test.
Running a 12h saxby schedule @ 100%.
The diffusers knock the par back some but honestly never tested it.

My new tank will be set up very different and all these baskets will eventually be in a frag tank plumbed into the main tank. Just need to build the stand.....lol so maybe next year.

Plus i have a power module for my new display but the frag tank will have a hydra 26 or 52 with the diffuser to make it blend like a t5.

Yea but when the baskets were on the bottom the shrooms would stretch and bleach.
They like it up high and are always splitting so it works for me lol.
My momma jb takes up the whole 4" basket sometimes being up top.

For sure man. Id say about 50% of my shrooms need to be where my Yumas and St Thomas are. Now that I have tank 2 up im going to get things where they really need to be. I did notice that your Kmaintl really like the extra intensity that T5 throws so that tells me they aren't getting enough light. And yessir I turned my T5 on for a few hours today and one of my Earl bounces already pinched up and about to split again! I've def seen that higher intensity will make shrooms split real fast.
Thanks for the insight bro learning from the pros!

Got a new shroom today, forgot to grab a photo of the exact one but this is a smaller version of it. Not sure if it'll go in the pico or the cade though.
