Make Room For Mushrooms

[eliterecon14]

Boomer and other peoples,
What would be some recommended supplements for some 'shrooms.
I have Calcium(for sure), strontium,Iodine(will need) and Trace Elements.......................Do they all need used on the shrooms???

 

[Kurt_Nelson]

Personally, I wouldn't recommend any. (No, you don't need the iodine.) Just PWCs every week or two.

I just use a 2-part Ca/Alk in my tank and I've got purple mushrooms falling over each other to reproduce.

I will get an anemone later.
I do need to boost my calcium level though.
what's a pwc?

"Partial water change", much better than guesswork with supplements to restore trace elements etc........

 

[Boomer]

I agree with Kurt and Job

ditto... one thing ive found with my wifes mushroom tank is that they dont need much other than regular water changes and decent overall tank stability... alk swings or excessive nutrient levels will make the shrooms come loose though... we lost several very nice shrooms due to this when the tank as neglected for a while

What is your current calcium level?

 

[eliterecon14]

it is 50 ppm or somin 50 below what it should be though to be exact.

To be "exact"? :lol:

Sorry... that struck me as funny.

I can take a hint... I'll stop asking questions!

It's what the guy said 50 below what it should be needs to be raised.
