why wouldn't you reccommend mushroom to beginers. After i year i am still a rank ametuer , some of my first bought mushrooms have propigated and are all over my tanks. Was so worried about getting clams cause i heard they were expensive and required pristine water. Well i got two for 30$ from a guy shutting down his tank and they are doing well, one has actually noticably grown. also heard manarine gobies were far above newbies well i have two of the fattest gobies i have ever seen -one in each tank. Read somewhere its tough to have two in the same tank true or false? Advice from one newbie to another - everyone talks about lighting, current, water chemistry, and water changes, my humble opinion is buy as much good live rock as you can afford or fit in your tank. And a thick substrate (lots of sand) is a good base to build on.
