firestream Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 i have the same problem with 150mH .... just move it away and avoid directly MH will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member diabolus Posted December 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2004 i think its best to put the corallimorpharians on the sand bed + some slightly shady places when you are using MH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member neokn Posted December 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2004 I don't think it's due to MH. As I'm using T5 HO Only and my hairy mushrooms melt away too. Wonder whether is it due to the collection method/ particular batch of hairy mushroom/ hairy mushroom from that particular area???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Clownfish Posted December 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2004 my exp with hairy mushroom is that they need lotsa light... they love my 150W MH... i place them at the top back of my tank, they open big big... last time put bottom right (shady area) lost quite a no. of them Quote My Personal Blog My Wedding Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member patrick123 Posted December 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2004 I put my hairy mushroom quite high up and near to my 150w MH. It was bleached in the LFS when I first bought it. It is now slowly recovering and turning darker color. So I can say that MH is not the problem.

SRC Member YzF Posted December 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 30, 2004 in my experience, those bigger bubble type yuma and hairy mushroom are quite hard to keep. Esp the bigger bubble yuma. Now got two pink and red yuma melting away. Both yuma are in the system for about a month or so. There are ok until today. i have also melted another 3 red yuma before. Same way like these 2 yuma now. The rest of the yuma are ok. IMO, I think the reason for melting is because of the ionic balance of the water. i ever recall i try changing water when i notice the yuma are stress. Only manage to save one out of 2. But its usually too late most of the time. Any one knows what's actually causing the big bubble type yuma to melt?? Quote YzF's Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
