Well after three's my mushroom have taken over the lower parts of tank and are moving up! Yesterday I decided while cleaning tank and sump to try fragging them. Obtained from a friend a large plactic bag holder that the LFS uses when bagging fish and inverts. The kind that just hangs outside the tank holding the bag with water in it. This one was 12 x 6 x 6 inches. I drilled hole in it's sides and a few in the bottom. plave about 1 onch of small rubble pieces (like fresh water tank gravel) and attached it inside my display tank. Next for some current I cut a piece of airline tubing and tried to get a siphon going - this was not a viable answer. So I shoved about 4 inches of tubing into a return nozzle and rubberbanded it into place. A good stream of water was produced. I placed the end into the hang on frag chamber and pushed it into the rubble to diffuse the flow. Next Randy and I used a scaple to cut/scrape hairy mushrooms, red mushrooms, purple/blue mushrooms, green striped mushrooms, and 2 ricordia's off their rocks. The individuals were placed in the frag box and allowed to settle. Each one was turned gently right side up and left to hopefully attach to rubble and regrow. Any thoughts on how this might work. The frag box is up top yrt far off to the side where only the edges of the MH / PC lighting shine into them.

Post script - Floridaricordia - how do you get the ric's off rock to frag. Every mushroom was deeply imbedded into the rocks surface nooks & crannys. It was worse than surgery 101 removing them! Also was the pungent aroma normal when fragging shrooms?
