Our Coral Zoo - Part 3 Making a Mushroom branch!

A few weeks ago we made a Mushroom branch using 20 different kinds of Mushrooms.

What we used:

Real Reef branch rock.
Screwfix Superglue
Lots of kitchen roll/paper towels.
Mushrooms from the Salty Revolution Mushrooms shop.
A Peter to help!

Our 100 litre Coral Zoo project

Over the last few years we've seen a lot of disruption of coral shipments into the UK. Most recently with exports from Queensland being banned out of Australia, and many familiar corals such as Acans being banned into the UK.

To safeguard against this we've started creating our 100L Coral Zoo project. The idea is that we collect as many types of coral as we can into a 100L tank. That way if any of these corals become unavailable in the future, we will be able to use these saved ones and grow them out for farming. This will provide long term security on many corals for everyone in the UK.

Follow our progress

You can follow our progress of this project on this page. You can also pop in store and see the 100L Coral Zoo for yourself.

We'll be creating the Zoo out of lots of little Coral Gardens, and you can also watch videos of us making them, and later today they'll be kits online so you can start making your own Coral Zoos too. The more hobbyists on board with this, the more diversity and security of coral supply they'll be for everyone for the future.
