Mushroom Extermination?

[kingfisherfleshy]

Hey guys, anyway to kill mushrooms? Ive got them all over the place, and taking them off with an exacto is messy, time consuming, frustrating, and only results in many more little mushrooms.

I need away to kill them...is there anything like injecting them with lemon juice...I need advice.

scrape em, and kalk the remnants.

 

[rng_pw]

can you just kalk the whole thing? I have the same problem, but im not able to get to some of them to scrape them

Ricky,

yup just be prepared for the organic decay, and nutrient release.

i use the aptasia x with an 18g needle from work to inject the stuff right into there body/mouth. it works wonders, buts it all the darn babies that pop up! next tank will not have mushrooms!!!!!

I've had the same issue, I also use a kalk paste and cover thier entire bodies with it, foot mouth everything. They dissappear for a few weeks, then about half of them sprout back up... but it at least keeps them in check

See I have a ton of this from my days when I had aptasia problems...now I have a mushroom problem. This is frustrating.

So what Im hearing is that these things are like the undead. There is really no way to kill them...you just gotta keep knocking them down. Wheres the double-tap to finish um?

Guess Im going to try the aptasia x...if I can just get them off a couple rocks I would be happy.

 

[wicked demon]

the only sure double tap is sun drying or boiling and re-curing the rock. or if the mushroom is really cool looking, and you want to keep/ propigate it might die for no reason!! lol
