I have a 29 gallon tank with some pulsating xenias, frogspawn, mushrooms, some zoas, a rose anemone, and a condy anemone. There are two clown fish, a wrasse, and a yellow watchmen along with a coral banded shrimp, and various other hermits/snails.
I usually do about 4 gallon water changes every other week. I had a bucket sitting in the room cycling some water, and it was in there for about a week until i finally changed it out. I also cut two stalks of xenias, changed the filter, and scraped my glass. Everything looked fine that night, and the next day. Two days later, the mushrooms weren't opening, the anemone's didn't look good, zoas werent opening...but the xenias looked fine. I also found a dead mexican snail a day later, and i'm guessing my starfish died as well because i didn't see him after a few days. I checked amonia, nitrates, phosphate, calcium and everything was great. I've did another water change and nothing seemed to change. I ended up finding some voltage in my tank ~24v. I put a grounding probe in and it went back to zero. Still nothing changed. Slowly, the anemones started opening back up and the zoas were starting to look a little better, but the mushrooms are still all shriveled up. I have done two more water changes thinking maybe I got some contamination in the water, or that the xenias released something when i cut them. But I still cant get the mushrooms to open. I didn't do anything different with the original water change other than cut the xenias. Could that be enough to shock the shrooms? Everything else looks pretty normal now except for them. Any ideas?
I also use RO water from walmart if it matters.
