Advice needed
 
I am looking for any advice people may have for getting rid of or at the very least reducing the number of these shrooms in my tank. They are taking over. There are even more than this on the other end of the tank (those can stay for now) and I just don't know the best way to deal with them since anything less than acid washing the rock seems to remove them enough.

Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated

Sell the rock they are on....

I've considered that, the trick is removing it without upsetting the BTA that rock rests on the shroom rock haha. This is what happens when I leave my tank alone all summer.

If you are worried about the BTA moving if you disturb his rock don't worry about it. Just restack to make the BT as high as it was or higher and it shouldn't move.

Pull rock and scrub. Bta will be fine. Hard to hurt them.

How would you describe the scrub process? Are we talking razor the mushies off and then just stiff bristle under some running water? should i use a bucket of tank water?

Ya or you can use coral cutters and cut them all off the rocks and scrub whatever is left with a hard brush and rinse with tank water.
