Mushroom Questions
I recently stepped into the world of the reef aquarium. I have dabbled in saltwater for a couple years, but decided to try my hand at the pretty stuff. I have a 75 gallon tank equipped with a magnum 350, and fluval 205 for filtration(I combined the filtration from two smaller tanks), and a seaclone 100 protein skimmer. My tank is equipped with 4, 48" VHO T12 lights, two of which are actinic. I also have two powerheads for circulation placed at each side of the tank. I have 5 damsels, one red scooter blenny, one yellow anthias, ane sailfin tang, and about 75 blue leg crabs and 20 turbo snalis. I currently only have about 40lbs of rock, but have 40 more culturing as we speak.
With that out of the way let me get to my question. I figure that mushrooms are the best place for me to start the learning process, and I have added some into my tank. My question is in regards to how to get these to reproduce. How long does the process take, and do i need to do anything special?
I will attach some pictures of the tank if I can figure out how. bare with me guys. Thank you.

Hmm. I have resized and compressed all my pics, but it will not let me post. Any tricks to this?

I have never cut them up but I have just let them be and some spread in a month some took 3 or 4 but I found patiance to be the best option but I will try the slice and dice routine when I get mine.

Slice em and dice em huh? I have heard that was the best way, but I also thought with my luck I would kill them. We talking take a chunk or two off, or split em? Thanks for the advice on the pics as well. I will post as soon as i get to 20.

True, they are cheap. Especially since I get a 20% discount where I work. I am adding in some leather coral today, and I will try to split some mushrooms as well. No worries if I lose some, I have plenty. Thanks for all the advice.
