how to get rid of mushrooms - Page 3

No, the organisms that make up the sand bed. I have small mushroom rocks and everytime they fall onto the sandbed and the mushrooms are face down in the sand, they are eaten. This is if I don't notice it for a couple of days...like vacation. They just melt away. If I have the problem that you have, I would try to bury the rocks with mushrooms facing down, as far into the sand bed as I could.

This is a good idea, and I think it might work if I burry the rocks for some time.
Only problem is that I should burry all rocks from my aquarium.

I would just bury what you can at one time. Even if that is only one rock at a time.

Will that load your system with decay matter and boost your nitrates?

I think this could happen if he did all the rocks at one time, but one rock at a time should not be a problem....also depends how efficient his protien skimmer is. If its a work horse, then this should nullify the problem.

Other than a protien skimmer what other dosing could be used? I only have a modified tank with no skimmer.

BTW Hi GA BOY!!
