After changing the 2 gallons on Wednesday and removing that sponge filter my nitrates are back down to 20.

Now that things are a little more "normal" (whatever that means lol) I decided to mess with that rock with the shrooms on it. There were at least 11 shrooms of different sizes and colors on there so I decided to try moving a couple. Last night I took two off the rock. I dont think they liked that very much but they also werent getting very good light. After reading alot of different threads about them I decided to try just forcing them off the rock and putting them on another rock with wedding vail material loosely holding them on. I read it take about a week for them to stick to the new rock. If this works I will move a couple of the others.

My peppermint shrimp stopped picking on the large shroom and he now knows when and where dinner is since I target feed him. My wife got a kick out of watching him eat. Tonight I will try to get picks of him eating.
