FOWLR Compatibility question


Hey guys,

Papa on the forums here, my grandfather, has his 125g system running with some fish in it. He wants to stick mainly with Butterflies, a few choice tangs, and maybe one large Angel. (any thoughts for him on species would be nice too)

He asked me a question tonight I couldn't answer though.

Since he is only using T5 lighting are there any mushrooms or polyps he can successfully keep? He doesn't want a lot of coral but he wants a few mushrooms just to fill in some rock and add some color.

Any advice? Thanks

Gil

I'm no expert on big tanks but I think that any angel and mushrooms is always a roll of the dice.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

That's probably fine since he only wants cheap mushrooms. If an Angel eats them....it's a nice treat lol. He had his eyes on some basic purple and green mushrooms, some ricordia, and a few different polyps.

T5'es will be fine for mushrooms and ricordia.
