@#%!* Mushrooms !!!!!! <----Bad Bad Bad !!!
#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Awhile back I posted a thread about too many mushrooms. I was going to give them away but I was having a hard time getting them off the rocks without them tearing. They were literally taking over my tank. Last night I got fed up with them and tore the tank apart to get rid of them. I started at 4pm and finished at 11pm. I tore apart the entire reef and took out all of the rocks. Scraped off all of the mushrooms and rinsed each rock in 2 buckets of saltwater (saved from a water change yesterday morning).Talk about STINK!!! Massacured shrooms DO NOT smell good. Kinda smells like skimmate, lol. I quit counting at 300. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thease were not "little mushrooms" They were HUGE. Some were 7-8 inches across when expanded. I can not believe how many were in there. I didn't even notice that 2 of my corals were killed by the blasted mushrooms. My candy cane is a gonner and so is my frogspawn. I don't think my fox coral is going to make it either. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I know the mushrooms will come back, but I feel better knowing it will be awhile before they get to plague proportions again.Just a warning to anyone putting mushrooms in their tank. They spread everywhere and are a PITA to get rid of. They are also poisenous. I have hives all up and down my arm from them. I did wear gloves, but after a few hours of scrubbing off rocks, I got water inside both gloves. : ( Oh well it was worth it in my opinion. I did save the largest rock that was covered in shrooms.(It has my feather Duster attached to it and I didn't want to hurt it trying to scrub the mushrooms off) I put that rock in my hubby's Lionfish tank. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Reef_Angel & Dakar.......How are the mushrooms that I gave you doing? Do they get HUGE? Are they Spreading?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Angie#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
