Could this be what's killing my Toadstool?

Everything else in my tank is doing GREAT! My Toadstool went from my 55 to it's current home(135) and ever since I put it in here, it's never looked good. The baby it had even shrunk, then disappeared. Might the thing attached to the bottom of it be the culprit?



All of my parameters are totally on par! I've moved it to several different locations, since I've set the tank up and it stays looking the same. It did give me one baby, back when it lived in the 55. Is it time to frag this big boy? Iodine is spot on also. Flow has been checked too.

TIA!

 

That looks like sponge to me, if it is, the answer is no. Luna

 

:thinking2

 

Can you put it back in the 55? How is the lighting in the larger tank? My toadstool started to go downhill because my bulbs were dimming as they aged. It perked back up as soon as I fixed the lighting.

 

55 is no longer in use, found out after I emptied it that it had a leak. Lighting in larger tank is 4x96 pc's and new bulbs 2 months ago. Plus I have my 48" T6's on there, but they need new bulbs. It's at the bottom of my tank in the next to least amount of light, but Like I said, I've had it all around the tank and no change. It has gotten the green on the side since I put it into the 135. Also, like I said before everything else in my tank is growing! Thought about it might be too clean water, but like I said everything else is fine. One more thing, my maroon is no longer hosting it, he's prefers the hairy shrooms now.

 

I was about to suggest that. Change the bulbs on the T6"s Luna

 

No, I haven't. AquaTraders never has them in stock. I bought other T6 bulbs, but they are 1/2" too long for the fixture. Hubby bought some MDF to build me a hood, back in Oct., but that hasn't materialized yet. I can sheetrock, change a transformer, and then bake you a wedding cake, but for the life of me I can't build something square

 

LOL!! Have you done a google search for your bulbs?? I just recently bought over $300 worth of random stuff including bulbs and I googled to find everything and to get the best price. I ordered from 5 different places I believe but I found everything I was looking for and saved money too! Just a thought, good luck!!
PS I have ordered from Marine Depot, Pet Mountain, Dr Foster & Smith, Premium Aquatics, Air, Water & Ice to name some and have yet to have a problem!

 

Honey, I research everything to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got these, that are too long, from Pet Mountain. I'm pretty sure there isn't a lighting or bulb store out there, that I haven't seen. Serious! These say in stock but there is no where to order and when I email, they never answer back.
