Rediculous just won't DIE

Trying to add more pics but seem to be having problems

Keeps saying failed upload maybe the size is to big?

Yes can't be over 2 mg. Use MS paint to resize to 75% then save and repost it.

Insead of hypo I would dose ammonia, it will kill the mushrooms but feed the bacteria. Dose pretty high like 5 ppm or higher and let it come back to 0 then see how the mushrooms look.

Just don't kill my little blue and red rock :dance: I really like it.

PM me if you would like to get rid of the smaller rock. I don't blame you for keeping the big one, it's a great rock! :beer:

PM'ED you

I didn't get your PM. I sent you one to reply to. Kinda strange didn't get it and also checked my email, got nothing

Oh yeah and make sure when you do the ammonia that you do it in a QT and not your DT. I'm pretty sure you knew this already but thought I'd add it as there are people that will jump down my throat for suggesting the ammonia in your tank :lmao:

Ok so i'm gonna nuke these shrooms today with kalk paste! Now just to confirm before i regret something, I am doing this in the DT the paste won't create a huge PH swing?

 

[Dkuhlmann]

You'll be fine. Too bad you're in Canada, I really wanted that rock :hammer:

If you do WAY too much it'll cause a swing. Make a little paste. Kill the flow. Treat 5-10 mushrooms. Let it burn them for 10-15 minutes. Take a baster, suck back up all remaining kalk residue you can, resume flow

I have not changed the water in my reef tank for close to 7 years. I pulled the skimmer 5 years ago and discontinued lime water about 3 years ago. I didn't have much variety in there except for a few leathers, some clams, green star polyps and zoas (all between 8-12 years old). Each type of soft coral flourished over the years even with massive aiptasia infestation. They seem to take turns and decide to die off massively on its own. I enjoyed my mushroom infestation but after I decided to mess with the tank by changing water way too fast (50% 3x in the span of 4 days because I wanted the DT water to setup my hospital tanks) and totally removing the live rock to catch the six line and lawnmower blenny, I lost 90% of my mushrooms. Of top of all the messing around I did, the massive die off almost took out my 10" squammy that has been with me for around 10 years. I think it's okay now but it looked sketchy a few days ago.

Best of luck getting rid of those things without hurting the others in your tank. The safest way to surrounding coral would be to physically remove them by cutting the underlying rock.

I injected them with kalk paste and they came back :eek1:
