Are your shrooms the only coral in your tank? |

Yes, they are the only corals I have right now.
I have been leaving the lights off a lot lately, I know the fish will be okay, but worry about the assorted shrooms are suffering do to only a few hours of lighting...
(FYI, I'm not only doing lighting efforts to kill the hair)

Mushrooms are generally a very light forgiving coral.
I only have the stock 24w light over my 12 gallon NanoCube.
No mushrooms, but lots of zoa's, kenya trees, frogspawn. Even two small BTA's.
Has been going great now since last June.
Here are some pics:   
I think that as far as lighting goes in a Nano...you can get by with much less then you might require for a larger tank...esp. for softies.
Good Luck! _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."
