Ricordea

[jden092901]

I have metal hals, 150 wat with 20k Bulb. Im getting some ricordia today, where would be the best place to put them? Should I put them in the lower part of the tank, kinda in the shade? I had some rics that died a few weeks ago, I think something was bugging them...they were all stressed from somthing in the tank...not sure what it was.

i believe but correct me if im wrong but u should light acclimate them and find out what type of light the lfs has that your getting them from and start them lower in your tank as well

Ricordia tolerate brighter lights then most mushrooms but do not seem to thrive under direct metal halide lighting. Pink an orange ricordia are commonly from shallower water. They also are more tolerant of greater water movement around the colony
