Mushrooms are pretty chill, dude. They don't need much to stay happy. I've got a bunch in my 75-gallon, and I only feed 'em once a week with a mix of frozen mysis and Reef Roids. They're under Radion XR15s, and they've been spreading like crazy. Maybe cut back to once a week and see how they react?

You'll get a lot of differing views on stocking. It's a minefield. Hundreds of species, all different environmental needs, and adult sizes to consider. I've got a 450 litre tank with 40 fish, but a 55 US gallon tank is a different story.

I've attached a pic of my old tank, you can see I've tried to strike a balance between hiding spots and open swimming space. They'll appreciate ...
