Rics, Yumas are mushies too right?? How do i differentiate the normal mushroom from yumas from rics? I was reading about difference between yumas and rics, somthing like rics the coloration all the way to mouth while yumas mouth differnt color... am i on the right track? What are Rhotatics? Another type of mushie?? Thanks much bro.

Added another 4 ati tubes today. Current lighting = 4 x ATI Aqua Blue Special, 2 x ATI BluePlus & 2 x ATI True Actinic. Thinking of adding 2 x 250 MH, will overkill? Started volka dosing at 0.46ml today and will do so for first 3 days before doubling it up. Was reading around about volka and VSV dosing but decided to stay with volka due to available stock... any bros got any experience with it? Since yesterday started 1 ml/day iodine dosing. Based on instructions it almost 8ml per week so instead of dosing weekly, i decided to dose daily instead. On alternate days 250ml of Iwarna's top up since day 1. Anyone has any feedback on it? So far my corals and coraline seems to be doing ok. Can see coraline forming around various spots... Iwarna suggested i get a dosing system but i considering cos the 3 jerry cans like quite unsighly leh... hmm...

Thank you for your lovely zoas, small buggers are starting to appear around...

Thanks bro... photographer lousy... thankfully got good lens...

weird.... i was told they were mushies.... 3 rocks full for $10.... but recently both the mushie and zoa happening leh... for some reason their colours change... the mushie started showing green bubbles(polps) and the mouth turn orange... not sick right? The zoa started developing a pink ring when previously it was mostly brown/purple... could it be smthing i did wrong?

Hahaha.... was it you i saw smtime 2 weeks back walking out from iwarna carrying lots of bags of goodies?

Thanks bro. Yes will take note of it... have been trying to stop my CO from choosing them but epic fail... will not add in further. Yes bro.
