Default Another Note

I think I agree it might be something other than lighting. I have mine in a 72g at the bottom with 2x250w mh and 4 65w pc's, all doing well. After you move them it will take some time to adjust and respond to their environment. If they are in poor condition it may be too late, but I have seen mushrooms come back from deaths door.

Ya I have no idea. I can post a pic if that will help. They dont appear to be dead, just not well. I will try another spot in the tank and see if that helps.

try a little more light. I had this happen to a few mushrooms that I transferred from my 5G with PC to my 65 with MH. I put them in the shade and they didn't like it, went all white and shrivelly, moved them into a little more light and they opened up right away.

Our mushrooms/ric's do this every now and then to. It's usually when we've moved them or changed the direction of the flow. In our case I believe chemical warfare is involved even though we are running carbon.

Can you tell us more about the flow? I know you mentioned that you had blocked them from too much flow. How much are they experiencing now?
