Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / October 2007Mushrooms
Hi all. So anyway the tank kept leaking and my half @ss methods of patching it never worked. So I removed everything, drained, cut away the silicone from the inside, resealed, resealed the outside, blah blah. Since the tank was totally apart and I was handling each rock anyway, I got more live rock to get the reef higher and closer to the lights. (for corals in the future) Its all together now, but my only mushroom is now in the shade due to the way the rocks went together to form a stable reef. Will this thing be able to move itself to a better spot? It came on a chunk of rock I got at the LFS about a year ago. Will it be OK or have I killed the thing by "improving" the reef? > Will it be OK or have I killed the thing by "improving" the reef? It is impossible to kill mushroom corals. Do not worry about it. p.s. try to avoid HTML formatting on the newsgroups, please. > It is impossible to kill mushroom corals. Do not worry about it. I have mushrooms, but they don't seem to spread very much. I occasionally find a mushroom in another spot of the tank and think "finally! good," but then it disappears a few weeks later. I'm thinking my 250 watt MH's burn them out as the rock they are on is in a shady spot. --Kurt > I'm thinking my 250 watt MH's burn them out as the rock they are on is > in a shady spot. You may be right. My 'shrooms did fine and even reproduced back when I had my twin striplights. Now, with about 5 watts of fluorescents per gallon, their color is better, but they don't grow as well. I'm guessing that they would do poorly with more light. George Patterson If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess to anything. Thx guys. >> I'm thinking my 250 watt MH's burn them out as the rock they are on is >> in a shady spot.

I have no trouble growing mushrooms at the surface of the water 12 inches directly under 400w mh light.
