Mushrooms?

[jpg29]

i've a 24G JBJ Nano is the standard lights fitted (2x 36W 50/50's) too bright for mushrooms, the lumo green shrooms. how much light and current do they need?

 

[Kanga]

More than likely not bright enough I would think, they dont like too much flow either although they do become more accustomed to the flow

oh ::

 

[Mekaeel]

Welcome to MASA.the lighting is sufficient,and in regards to flow,kanga is right.please post some pics of your setup

Just had a look at the wesite, my apologies those lights should be fine,

How long has the sytem been up, my shrooms took a long time to fully open, even while everything else was flourishing

welcome dude......

I think the lights will be fine.

Too much light???

all depends on what shrooms, Dicosoma and Rhodactis can tolerate low light, but Recordias love strong light, even love Mh

I think I've the "Hairy" (green) type, what is the scientific name?

[Rory]

Probably rhodactis then...

thanx for the info, they seem okay for now.
can I use the product "Marine Snow" to feed them?

 

[viper357]

They don't really need to be fed, monitor them, if the light is insufficient then maybe think about feeding them.
