I am about to the point where I am going to buy my first corals. I do have 2 LR now that have some mushrooms... 1 watermelon mushroom and 3 pimply looking red mushrooms. My problem is that my watermelon and 1 of my red mushrooms have suddenly retreated into the hole they are growning out of. Another of my red ones looks like it's about 1/4 the size it usually is and yet another is still wide open. All of these mushrooms are only about 6 inches from each other. I regularly test my water, with the latest test being last night. Here are my water parameters...
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10-20
pH: 8.0
I also tested kH, but I don't remember the value. It was on the lower end of the "safe" scale. I had the typical NO light that comes with an aquarium, but about 1 month ago, I got a 20" coralife aqualight 96w with a quad bulb with 50% actinic blue and 50% 10,000k. I have had these mushrooms for 2-3 months. They did fine in the NO lighting and they did OK in my new lighting until just recently. Any ideas?
