OK, what happened?? A few days ago a nano with ONLY a large mushroom rock ( brn/reddish and green stripes shrooms) had a problem.
Nearly all the brownish mushroom, some pretty big, suddenly got real puffy (water?) in the stems. The water perms had been good and stable for months. Some detached and I removed those. I put an Eheim 2213 external filter with floss and a bag of carbon on and changed the floss etc in the tank's back. The grns seemed ok, low but just not expanding as much. So I did an early w/c of a gal or so. This afternoon the tank was quite cloudy and stank. I immediately did a 99% W/C with spare aged sw. I have to leave the wet sand in until I get some more sw, set up a temp holding tank and more sw so I can start all over with the rock. This should be done early this evening.
All I have done recently is trim a few of the brns to prop in another tank which I just started. That was over a week ago. I had checked all the stickies etc to remind me what to do.
So, any ideas folks??? I hate to lose the rock which is about 8" dia. Other than the sand w/ little critters in it and hermit and a couple of small snails thats all that is in the tank. Standard 50/50 compacts.
HELP !!!!!
