Mushroom removal

[theappe3]

While doing some pass the time reading, I read that an easy way to remove a shroom from a rock is by using an ice cube at the base and the shroom releases on it own. Anyone ever try this before??

wow 22 views and not one comment, lol Thanks for looking though.....

Ive never tried it but I too have read that before.. I am just wondering how long it would take for it to release.

Well I guess that makes two of us in the same boat

Never heard of that but whould also like to know if it works, wonder if that would work on an annomenie?

I got three on a rock that have to go this weekend

I just might try this, what can it hurt(not too fond of my shrooms anymore). I guess I'll freeze up some RO/DI water and try it this weekend, I hope it works. Thanks for the idea, whether good or bad, seems pretty safe to me, and no leftover chunks to grow into new ones.

I know it works for anemones... as does aiming a power head at them too. They dont like that much current...

Great, I've left them in my old tank trying to figure out how to get them off the rock without killing them, I'm gona give this a try this weekend too, with the mushrooms too. maybe it will work on the one million manajano that is on the rock also

good idea

hmm seems that a lot of ppl have "heard" about this, but no one really has any exp. on it.
Time for another "Reef Busters"

yep I think somebody needs to give it a try, I'll do it tommorrow morn. if they don't survive oh well there future doesn't look to bright as it is.

ok I tried it out on some harry mushrooms, did not work my fingers froze but the mushrooms stayed it tack, I gona try it next on some bta's and see if that works, but so far the meith is "BUSTED"

 

[theappe3]

lol, thanks for trying. I guess its back to the old razor blade method

Would Joe's Juice work for mushrooms? I know its made for aistipia (sp) but couldn't you shoot some in the mouth of the mushroom for the same affect?

 

[grabbitt]

Are you trying to propogate or elminate them?
Joe's would work for the latter, but I wouldn't expect much survival by giving them joes juice.
At least, not if it is injected...

 

[ameno]

trying to propogate, I tried it on some bta's and it seems to work, I got one to turn loose but it took some time, the problem is they usually have there base baried up in holes so you can't get to it.
