Mushroom box

[Pola0502ds]

I really like the magnet handle, so I like the frag rack lol.

It does have silicone grippies in the holes. I don't know if that'll get hard to clean over time, but this probably means my urchin isn't going to runaway with my frags.

Do you have pics of it?

You guys said the mushroom box cost $40, how much was shipping?

And for those of us on a tight budget, $1 soap dish with suction cup holders at the dollar store, just cover with netting held on with a rubber band.

Following as I was looking at fragging a lot of mushrooms but didn't want a ugly box in my tank. That thing looks very clean

 

[Tyler Collinske]

Ya it really is it's not an eye sore at all and actually gets a lot of compliments

Nice little box. If you care about what things look like in your tank, 50 bucks doesn't sound to bad especially if it's something you'll use a lot. Awesome review.

 

[Tyler Collinske]

Agreed brother! And thank you!!

Do you have pics of it?

Oh sure. I haven't had the chance to install it yet. So still fresh out of the box. This is the nano sized one.

That looks great! Has good space to grow to! I like it

Yup, I use to use this corner shower caddy from Amazon for $7. Nice and shallow for shrooms, but I thought I'd splurge for the holidays.

I apologize if I missed it, but what are the dimensions of the box?

 

[Reefster]

I use this for my Shrooms...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QRDCP2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2Q1CV6GTBR7LC&colid=2SPQYSD7G51ZD.

I got one for some of my rarer mushrooms. Any tips on keeping the rubble in there cleaner? My whole tank is rubble, but just the box gets dirty. Should I just keep putting my astria snails in there?

I keep 2 Astria snals in mine. However, coraline algae will quickly take over. If you have mushroom boxes you have to be okay with the fact that you will need to remove from tank clean it well. I soak mine in acid for a few hours and it wipes right off, zero effort. Just need to be safe and smart working with acid.

If you don’t want to mess with acide you can use cleaning Vinegar and that will melt it off just the same as acid would just takes a few more hours of soaking normally left over night will do the trick.

In my 1st and only experience with vinegar i soaked a powerhead in vinegar for 48 hours and still had to work my butt off. With acid it literally wipes right off, rinse, and you’re done. Hell, most of the time just rinsing removed most of it. Never looked back since.

Before

After

0 effort to wipe off most I didn’t even scrub. You have to use the Concentrated Vintage not regular stuff and it will come right off. I cleaned pools for 3 years i know alll about using acids but when it comes to my tank this vinegar works just as good just takes over night. I did tank maintenance professionally for 7 years this is what worked for me . Just another option for people who don’t wanna use Acid. Acid dose the trick to tho and it dose do it well.
