two issues, need help

I turned on the lights this morning and things didnt look as healthy as they were when i turned em off.

First some help in identification would be good since im new at this and not positive...

The first set of pictures is what my two mushrooms looked like before the lights when out and then when they came back on.

The second picture is just to illustrate what has happened to one of what i believe is pulsating xenia. You can see in the picture that they are pretty healthy looking (at least i think so) but down on the side of the rock, which is pretty blocked from flow BTW one of them is very shriveled up and looks pretty much dead. Im not worried about losing that one, but should i be concerned about anything else?

BTW - Check my params last night and were good. Checked again this morning and were better. Last night there was a little ammonia showing up. now its 0...NO2 and 3 are both 0. Dont have an alk test yet... could it be something to do with that? SG is right one too...

 

You can also see a video that was taken last night at the end of this thread...

whats the time frame when you took the "withered" pic of your shrooms? if its just after the lights came on , they sometimes takea while to "wake up" . maybe give them some time and see how they look then

 

Prob about 15 - 20 minutes. Its been about an hour now.... The bottom one which is kind of shaded from the light looks great. The top one looks a little better, but nothing like that first picture from last night.

I was marveling at how much better they were looking last night then when i got them

murphy got me again...

 

Looks like they're just waking up to me. Just give em a while.

 

hopefully they start opening back up for you son wk. they are nice looking . good luck
