How do I control shroom overgrowth????

[jojo22]

Could treat like aptasia cut it, and then shoot with boiling water, I would think the risks of cutting would be less than those of trying to outright kill a full shroom in the tank.

if your able to take the rocks out of the tank... you could chip them off the rock entirely... I have had to do that in the past with one particular rock that was growing them that I didnt want them to grow on... I then sold the shrooms off... worked great.

if you cannot get the rock out then the idea of cutting them down and pasting them would work as well.

Just to expand on this Andy, if you cut the heads off you can throw them in a tupperware container with some rock rubble or crushed coral. Stretch some bridal veil over the container and toss it in your frag tank or even your sump. In a week or two you can sell the newly attached shrooms.

Kuddos to you Andy, are you reading my thoughts?

thanks for the replies...sounds like it will take some work. Some of the shrooms are in tough to reach spots, but I'll do my best. I think I'll try the Kalk past after cutting their heads off. I tried injecting kalk saturated water and they only shriveled and then came back. I need full strength kalk!! I remember propogating shrooms with the mesh covered cups. Good thought Andy, Never waste...plenty of people love these red mushrooms and I'm only too happy to sell them at a very reasonable price:D

Kalk water only makes them multiply. LOL Kalk paste will kill em for sure. Same goes for aptasia, majano, gsp, stone polyps or any other weed.
