yeah not sure how easy the bulbs break but if you ask me the light is too much to only use on shrooms. Could have kept the pcs

True, but....I have zoas in the nano right now that werent opening at all with the pcs. Now with the mh only on for 3+ hours they are opening. I had another idea for a theme. But it was too unrealistic for price. From what Ive read, if anything the shrooms will grow quicker? If I can think of something else I may do it....

You could always try your mad scientist blender theory you were telling me about when I was stealing your RO water...

I mean. You could always make this more interesting >

LOL...really? Ive just heard of it working. Not that I would do it. It sounds a lil barbaric.

I think I've seen some threads about this and everyone is always telling the guy not to do it... except this one guy saying YEAH DO IT!

But then I never see any results???

Mushrooms are too much on the price list to chop up

Your call but I think it's a bad idea.... from what understand your better just to frag them before the blender idea

with that light and shrooms they will take over in no time.

That will be a nice lighting combanation for that tank as long as you can keep the heat down. when I went to MH on ly old tank the mushrooms exploded and took over entire areas of the tank in very little time.

Im just hoping I can properly acclimate the shrooms in the beginning. Hopefully I can get them to grow like crazy. I want the tank full and busting at the seams.

As for the heat. I only have the fans running when the MH is on and Ive been able to maintain a temp 22C(71.6F) night - 24C(75.2F) day.

I also changed the bulb yesterday to a 20k.
