    Default two becomes eight

    Left home for close to a month. Really got to thinkin about the tank the last couple hours or so on the drive home.

    Get home real late/early (4am) so lights were off ... turned living ro0m lights on for a quick peek though, heh.

    1 of the mushro0ms I got a few months ago, split on its own into 2 after 3 weeks of ownership or so. Well, those 2 shro0ms have now split into about 8 as best I can tell. Will try to get some pics up so0n ... totally unexpected.

    ya its a good thing although most commonly used in a refugium because it can (if not kept in check) over run your tank. If you have a tang they will eat it and keep it in control. i personally would put it in the refugium if you have one otherwise just don't let it get out of control.

    it's great for removing nitrates etc from your system though. nice shrooms, i love it when you come home to see that they split.

    They'll never stop splitting.... Until they start running out of room to spread... If they want to be so prolific then by all means let them continue... the really look great taking up a back corner of a tank cascading down.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
