Ricordia Shroom Question

[kzlen]

Ive had this Green Ricordia for 3 weeks. Havent fed it anything till just now. Lately Ive noticed it seems a bit smaller. The color is more vibrant but is shaded in areas.
I just took some formula one flakes and made it to a fine powder and mixed it with water. Sprayed it at the shroom. Cause thats all the plankton I have for now.. Anyways,
I have 130watt pc , the shroom is on a rock at the bottom, surrounded by my other shrooms but is not being touched. What could be wronf with it ?

try moving it closer to the top of the tank (37 tall right??) ricordia tend to need more light then regular shrooms....do you have 03 actinics or just "actinics"...i think kip poated a good thread that might benefit your lighting situation with minimal effort

according to the box the light came in... 03.

How would I go about removing it from the rock ? ??

 

[jugger]

is it on a rock you cant move???

 

[kzlen]

yes its a foundation rock. pretty big

 

[jugger]

well if its fiji rock then its perty easy to take a sharp knife and cut the rock where the ric is attached....how deep is the 37???

ok, i just got out a ruler. my tank is about 24inches deep. The ricordia is 28 inches from the bulbs.
I do have fiji rock but me and knives, thats scary. Me and knife under salt water. Hmm

I have 110W pc lights in my 29g. The rics like to be in the middle to high.
