Yea kalk paste gets it done I usually siphon it out when the job is done. I’m sure you did as well but didn’t show it. Just something worth noting. One man’s trash and annoyance is another man’s treasure lol hope you was able to keep a few for the frag tank. Local reefers would love em ✊🏾
next time around it may be easier to just sell the rock and remove the coral that you want onto a new rock and just pull out all the mushrooms otherwise your going to have a huge headache doing this over and over
I like to live life on the edge 🤣. Jk. Yeah it was intense. I tested the next day and everything was fine. I forgot to mention to siphon out any dead or dying mushrooms from the kalkwasser paste when you do the water change. I still have dozens of more shrooms to 💀
Please be careful doing this. I made the mistake of doing to much in my small tank and caused a huge ph/alk spike. My tank was wiped out in about 7 hours.
Yep! That’s why I didn’t do the entire tank. Luckily 200 gallons gives me a lot of leeway. Plus the carbon and water change helped a lot too. If it were to spike too much I could always put a little citric acid in the tank. But that would be a worse case scenario
Looks like it would be easier to pull the corals off the rock and sell the mushroom rock. Place new rock in place and glue the corals back onto the new rock. Make money and get rid of the whole mushroom that way. I'd be afraid to attack the mushroom rock, it might spread them as the pieces of foot drift everywhere. Thanks for making this video. Very educational.
I didn’t want to get rid of my Micromussa on the rock. I have tried to take that off the rock in the past but it’s calcified onto it. The other rock with the digis on it is HUGE and have sunkists on them too. I wish I would have put smaller rocks there so I could take a small section of rock out. That woulda been a good idea. Thanks for the advice! I got a buddy coming to grab a few mushrooms
I have a smaller tank and my jallbrakers are going bananas I will definitely try this . Only been reefing 2-3 years
I been in this hobby for 10yrs and I never knew mushrooms could sting other Coral
Oh man mine are vicious and killing tons of my other SPS and LPS corals

Thanks man! I totally forgot to show me siphoning some out. I couldn’t get all of em. But yes I should have shown that part too.

You kill beautiful mushroom bro 😮
I did this about 8 months ago. The mushrooms were gone, but now they are back.
Haha you gotta get them all or they will come back. That happened to me too 😅
I've never seen anything like this,bro that was extreme
