minimum lighting for shrooms

[connor]

hi i have a 95 gallon i just moved so im starting my tank over and i heard that shrooms dont need much light so what is the min. amount for them?

The minimum amount is the amount in which they neither die or thrive.

 

[connor]

could you tell me the kind of light buld please :needhelp:

Just find yourself a nice VHO set with like 5-6 bulbs in a mixture of daylight/actinic and you'll be able to have mushrooms that will actually grow a bit

 

[connor]

how much would that cost? :notsure:

 

[speg]

Im not the price fairy... find the prices yourself =c) do searches on the web and you'll soon come up with something.

All I can say is if you're thinking of a lighting set-up for a 95 gallon tank and you dont have a job and you're goin to be depending on your allowance/Christmas/birthday money.... maybe you should just not worry about mushrooms right now hehe... you'd probably be looking at around 200-500 dollars... I honestly cannot say I have really checked out the prices of VHO lighting set-ups.. but if I had to guess.. that would be it.

thats it theres hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yesterday i babysat for my aunt for the whole day and earned 100.00 so she could go shop all day, so if i baby sit for her a lot couse she always asks me i could get enough by the end of the month!!!!

i just looked at a site they were about 200-400

Just dont forget that one day you'll be replacing those bulbs.. thats where they getcha! I gotta pay about 70 dollars for two bulbs real soon... some bulbs are much more expensive than others... luckily vho for you arent too bad priced.. still higher than a normal light bulb though!
