that is one of the best tanks I have seen
Wonderful tank ❤
People always say never put shrooms in your tank unless they are off on their own island and even then no disco because they come loose easy and float around and multiply and take over your tank! How have you prevent this? I have never had any problems with my yumas or rhodactis but I want to add some disos! lOVE YOUR TANK! yOU HAVE BEEN A HUGE INSPIARTION TO ME GETTING INTO THE HOBBY!
Hiya! Haha well in theory yes, they could release and float to other areas, but I wouldn't be too worried about this since discos aren't very invasive and nice to watch :)
You don't realize how many are in the tank until you poi t them out very nice looking specially the green one in the middle 💚👍
Wow this so beautiful. Bouncy mushroom. 7:33
Beautiful tank and nice fish.👌
Thank you again for a great video. Always informative and I too love the beauty and variety of colors and textures that mushrooms can have. In fact one of my favorite corals in my tank is a Rainbow Yuma that I got a few months ago.
Love and look forward the content of your videos and the perfection of your tank👌🏾
your tank is amazing wish mine looked that good
I think your special #2 mushroom might be an “elephant ear”. It’s know to get very large and has been know to eat small and slower moving fish (goby, mandarin’s)
Beautiful tank
Beautiful
Such a spectacular display.
Amazing tank man. Great job!
Seriously good!
Nice video! Love the shrooms too 🍄
Great update
Just beautiful your tank
beautiful tank bro!👍😁
Thanks man!
Beautiful tank!
Very nice tank❤❤❤
What's the black and white stripped fish with the Orca fin?
i am wondering the same thing
Nice tank thank you for sharing
7:26 what kind of gorgonian is that, love the tank btw 🫡
04:13 is rhodactis for sure
You're absolutely right!
Dutch wassup bro
What fish is that ?!
The white and black fish with the tall dorsal fin ?? Need that guy Dope reef
Awesome vid!thanks for the knowledge
For some reason, I am having a very hard time keeping ricordeas! I don't know why. The discosomas are no problem, but I have no idea why the ricordea won't do well in my tank. All the parameters are just fine. Not sure what the problem is!
Hmm that IS really odd, I find them to do very well with high nutrients, maybe yours are (too) low?
@@DutchReefer it could be. Maybe I can try to feed more? It’s just strange. I can’t keep one for the life of me.
Super leuk filmpje weer! Het is ongelofelijk zo schoon als je bodem is... Zie dit echt zelden👍🏼
Wat zou je zelf nog willen veranderen aan je bak?
Thanks Armin! Beetje minder licht helpt met deze warme dagen om alles flapvrij te houden :)
Ik heb eerlijk gezegd geen idee, best tevreden zo!
I think you have some Yuma type mushrooms, very nice tank!
Yup there are some I think! Thanks!
What’s your secret and keeping the water so clean and your mushrooms the riving amazing
The water clarity is mainly because of the UV-c (36 watts) and use of Carbon!
So good. You seem master on mushrooms. My Ricardeo Yuma today left the Rock and strated floating. How to keep it on frag. Any advise on paramters and Care also.
Oh it's so hard to keep them in one place... I found the best way is to add them in a small container in your tank/sump with substrate in it. Eventually they will attach to the substrate, then you can glue the substrate to your rocks! Parameters around 10-20 no3 (they like a bit) and other than that they're pretty easy-going!
@@DutchReefer thx for reply. Your tank is clean and awsome. Heard u were shifting house. Whats your plan to shift and advise in my case when im shifting a day drive to next city.
Yeah I did! Ouch a day's drive is quite a pain man... I'd probably hire a company to help along with that...
@@DutchReefer so what do suggest. Shoud i keep rocks dipped in water. And also take along 20 % ild water in some container. Its 45 Degrees Centigrade here. So i may have to utilise Chiller on board..?
Beautiful Tank Do You Have To Worry About The Hammer Or Frogspawn Touching The Mushrooms??
Thanks Joseph! Overall I found that they are quite friendly towards each other!
That’s awesome I have about 10 rose bubble tips and they are close to my fruit loop zoos and Rasta’s they get along as well I guess you never know
what kind of light is on your tank
I failed in keeping green star polys. Please share ur view how can you have gps on back if glass. Love ur video. God bless you and your family
Hi Krishna, hmm that's odd since they are quite easy corals to keep! If you have a frag, just glue it to the back of the tank using super glue or reef glue, and it should start spreading soon.
Dutch Reefer Thank you sir
Stephen Dobs Indian Mushrooms they have grown well
my ricordea has a singular HUGE bubble among all the normal sized ones. is this normal? >.
Haha yeah that's what they do sometimes! I have a Duncan which does exactly that!
I love all the mushrooms but how are you keeping them from taking over? Are you removing them as they spread? I end up with colonies so big I have to remove the whole rock. 💖
Hmm they don't really spread that fast so that hasn't turned into a problem, YET :-)
Got 1 the other led lights on 50%, blassto and acans doing well, but ricordea is just shrinking up, what could it be, its not even directly under the lights?
Hmm it could be still adapting to the tank. As long as it's not changing color (to very light translucent color) then you're good. Does it have too much flow perhaps?
@@DutchReefer no low to medium, the super red mushroom is doing excellent, cant figure this one out, thought lights but no difference even in a really low lit area, thanks
Great video and tank! How long do ricordeas grow?
Hey do the mushroom shrink and slightly retract before they split? I have a interstellar mushroom for a month now and in the past 4 days it has looked smaller and “deflated”.. I can’t tell if it’s splitting because the shape is no longer round... it’s shriveled and looks like it has large indentations that are possibly “splitting”
Whats the name of that fish..black snd white with long tail fish ?
Beautiful tank. I do t mean to be negative but, I just can’t seem to find a video where the author sticks to the subject matter often. This video was called “keeping mushrooms corals” yet all he did was point out his corals.
Thanks, but did you watch the entire video? While I indeed show the various mushrooms around the tank I'm also telling stuff about their behavior, how they replicate, feeding, et cetera. What kind of information would you have liked to hear in addition to what I have told during the 10min walkthrough?
I dont know what video you were watching! He has tons of corals and he basically spoke about mushroom, coverd basic care and how they reproduced, lightning, feeding. I thought it was very informative and stuck to the tiite of the video! I do get what you mean about some though, some people go on and on for 10 minutes before they get to the subject!
I don’t know. I was expecting PH, Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium. Temp, salinity, iodide. Should I feed oyster feast? Reef roids, mysis shrimp? Are they a photosynthesis coral? I didn’t intend to be negative. Again,The tank is beautiful!
Dag Anton, onlangs had ik een recordea gekocht. Had hem geplakt met ecotec glue, maar hij ging telkens los. Had hem geplakt en dacht dat hij uiteindelijk vast was, maar toch was hij nog los gekomen en heb hem niet meer in de bak kunnen vinden. Heb je hiervoor nog wat tips? Dank u
Hi, ja het is soms wat lastig. Je kunt 'm het beste een poosje op een rustig plekje op het zand leggen zodat hij zich hecht aan de steentjes. Daarna kun je 'm lijmen waar je wilt :)
What kind of mushroom is the green bubbly looking one at 7:35?
Other than Rhodactis I'm not sure
What kind of fish is that with the black and white stripes
That's a Spotted Drum, Equetus Punctatus
How do you maintain your water in order to feed and keep algae from your tank ?
I'm using Balling Classic for water maintenance, other than that nothing special :)
how big is the tank? what are the dimension ?? also a very awesome looking tank mate!
It's a Reefer 525 so about 500L and 150cm wide! Thanks!
How do you get them to attach on the rocks?
Ha that's a troublesome process... Just hope that they attach to some substrate or rocks, you can't glue them without!
The zebra stripes ..
I've had my goniopora for 1.5weeks, I cant get them to open up. Plz help
Yup that happens.. Try adding some Manganese to your tank and try to target feed it with a plankton-type food
@@DutchReefer I looked into it and some say mg. My mg went from a thousand to 1290 this week(not even quite a full week). This may be the problem (the mg container for doser was leaking, thankfully it wasn't all full)at least I have a higher mg for now and surprisingly a few polyps are now opening despite the mg swing.
I always run on high MG (around 1400-1500) and the Gonio like it!
@@DutchReefer I'm gonna raise the mg then. I've always wanted goniopora tank and always kept them low. Also, I ran out of my GFO :( I need to run out and get some soon. IME my gonies that I had are more sensitive to phosphate than any spare other than acros. This is not a good week though. Some of my sps bleached.:( I tried to increase nutrients for my polyped corals.

Waar koop jij je vissen en koralen? Weet je winkels waar t veel goedkoper is dan bij de meeste of zijn de prijzen overal zelfde?
Bij Diebo in Nieuwegein vooral, goede winkel met veel kueze. Prijzen zijn ongeveer gelijk, zit niet veel verschil tussen.
What is that striped fish ?
That's called a Equetus Punctatus!
I don’t know why but my ricordea have been dying lately
Hmm that sucks... changes in your water parameters or light?
What kind of tank is that?
It's a Red Sea Reefer 525!
Dutch Reefer thank you
