I have seen reed systems with nothing but different coloured mushrooms completely covering every rock - it did look very cool! | |

Cheers for your approval guys, here's a updated pic of the shrooms now they settled in , looks to me like i have a polyp on there too... 
Is it normal for the shrooms to look a bit shrivelled up first thing when i put the lights on for a hour or so, is this cause they have had no light all night...
On the left you can see my chalk goby doing what he does best turning over the substrate, very good addititon...
