Not having a dig, just letting you know that the answer more than likely lies in your readings

Took some water to the shop today, Nitrates 0

Faulty test

I cannot visually see any more coming off just yet...

What size tank is that and how much LR is in there...looks pitifully inadequate. Do you know the weight of the LR? SH

 

[YoungFishBreeder]

Yes it is pitifully inadequate for the tank size, its a 3 foot, No idea of the weight buy its very light compared to the other live rock I've seen, I've have just added another 3kg, Because it had a nice mushroom on it. And we will be adding more live rock.

Spoke to soon, another one comming off and have netted the other ones down, Also i went on a late night hunt in the aquarium, I popped in some chicken and spotted 3 Fire worms and a weird looking bug, could do with that hitch hikers link. I also saw a worm with a really mean looking head with antenna's, And guess what, It lives in the mushroom rock.
Could this be my problem.

All the Best.

be careful adding more live rock to that while your corals are in there, you could see ammonia spikes due to the new rock going through a die off, almost like a mini-cycle...

Thanks for all the help guys,
I think ill put this down to the stress of moving as they have stopped now, reattached the other mushroom and everything seems fine.

All the best
