I put a piece of netting over the mushroom, then rubberbanded it...after a week it should be attached
ORRRR...some people put the mushroom in a container with rock rubble....that never works for me

If there is no rock under them...good luck gluing them...they are slimey and they never hold for me
I have some netting from the craft store...kinda like the bridal net stuff...
You just can't make it too tight or the mushroom could attach to the net..LOL...I had that happen to one once

 

[nissan577]

haha!

 

[jon_fiasco]

Well if you have a piece of rock you should be able to attach them with the epoxy....just put the epoxy where you want the shroom...then press the rock part of shroom into the epoxy

 

[nissan577]

that works as well. but glue rocks!

 

[jon_fiasco]

this may seem a lil obvious but i would have to remove from rock from the tank correct?

 

[nissan577]

no you can do it in the tank

Not for everyone.....believe me....glue never works for me with a mushroom that has NO rock....

it does for me with a rock. but i take out the rock

 

[jon_fiasco]

the thing is that the piece that i wanna place the shroom on is a really big piece and its has other corals on it and i really dont wanna move that rock around...
