    Ok we here is what in asking. I have just gotten a 34 gallon red sea used and it is full of nothing but different types of mushrooms. Do they just spread on there own? There are big,medium,small also baby ones. I won't to start moving some to my 210 and won't them to keep growing and spreading. All tips and ideas would be great. If you are wondering about anything that would help let me know. Thanks.

    Yes. I got the tank used and full but I have never found any plugs ect. Just seems like they just keep spreading all around. I will put a pic with the reply. It will be from my phone. Not the best but you can see them.[​IMG]

    Yes, mushrooms will multiply and spread on their own. :)

    Cool. Thanks. Never did a lot with mushrooms and there are so many in there. I won't to put some in my 210 gallon. Only thing is i think I mite have to watch them because there are t5's on them now but the 210 has 250 mh lights.

    Given the difference in the tank sizes, that may or may not matter much, depending on the brand, type, and age of the T5 bulbs. To be on the safe side, you can place them low in the tank, like on the sandbed until they adjust, then move them up over the next few weeks.

    Lol. Thanks on the leather had him for about 3 weeks now and is doing great. The t5 on the mushroom tank is about 6 month as well as the ones on my 210. Good point on starting them out on the bottom because of the mh. I'll put a pic of that one. All I have in there so far are some Kenya trees,plyups, and a few other odds and ends. Not much. Need to get some others to add so they can spread and fill it up.[​IMG]

    That's a old pic. Changed it all around since then but the lights are off now. Better one to come if you all would like tomorrow.
