My tank is being overrun with purple mushrooms. I have given all away that I can to local reefers. It doesn't do any good to cut them because they sprout another one so darn quick!

The shrooms are killing my blasto's and interferring with the zoa's and acan's growth.

I do not like to "kill" anything but I am desperate to control these beautiful but pesky shrooms! I do not use kalk so injecting them is out of the question and I am temporarily out of Joe's juice.

Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Thanks in advance!!!: :mad2: :confused: :sad1:

Inject them with Distilled Vinegar. It works just as good as Joe's Juice. I've been zapping Aiptasia for over a year like this.

Thanks Travis. I tried the boiling water with no effect. Will have to stop at the grocery store tomorrow-used all our vinegar to make chili sauce this past weekend!

No problem. I'm the definition of "Cheap Reefin' " :D
