My sister's tank is infested with mushrooms. HELP!

[martyharrison]

Okay-
Any thoughts on something that will eat all these mushrooms? Been out of the hobby for years and trying to help my sister out. Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve this problem. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for asking.
I had similar situation few years ago and below is the pic:

At the time the ph was 8.4 and kh was around 8-9 using Red Sea coral pro.

I changed the salt to aqua forest and change to higher power lighting (about 50% increment in watt and introduce a 3 w led bulb in red). The ph became 8.0 and kh became 6.

70% of the mushroom vanished in 2 weeks time.

However, now I think the mushrooms looks nice and trying to get them back.

For your consideration.

Thanks for the chemistry tips. Will look into that. Does anyone know of a crustacean or fish that might eat these?

They look nice. Maybe a butterfly?

I would love to have a few of those. I have never seen any that color around here. I wonder if you could just cull them by hand cutting them off of the rocks?

Maybe try aptasia-x by Red Sea or injecting kale into them

Razor blade them off. Throw the shrooms Into a small container lined with rock rubble within the tank and let them attach to rhe rubble. Sell the shrooms.

I have a Shroom problem too. ima have to try out your water chem solution. I dont want them all to die, but i do want to reduce them.
