Getting Mushrooms to Attach

[ajkochev]

I've bought several new mushrooms but a few came unattached to rubble.  Loose, the mushrooms tend to blow around the tank and end up not where I want them.  What is the best method to get them to attach to rubble?

You can get a small container, drill small holes in it.

 

Place some rubble in the consumer

 

Place mushrooms on the rubble

 

Wrap a mesh or netting around the container, secure with elastic band

 

The mushrooms will attach to the rubble which you then can glue down to a rock 

 

Another method is laying the shrooms on  frag plugs and the wrapping netting/mesh over each plug  so they will attach to the plug

If you do this, make sure that the mushrooms get plenty of flow.  I lost 3 because they weren't getting enough and the container gunked up.  At ASD they have theirs in those crappy plastic baskets kinda like this:

I got a shroom from LA a couple of months ago that didn't like his location and he hopped off the rock pretty quick.  He landed in a spot that he must like because he's been attached there since.  They move where they want, with a little push from the water flow.  Only 1 of my shrooms has stayed where I put it, although most of them crawled to their new home.
