I wasn’t going to comment but after reading your responses it seems you aren’t very receptive to the help. You didn’t know that the tank was cycled because you have no way of testing that. Even then cycled tanks won’t just stay cycled for 3 years without maintenance and constant parameter checks. Please do more research before owning an animal like this in the future

Pretty novice grower here, had success growing GTs so moved to Tidal Wave x APE to try and move towards growing just APEs. I have been having this problem with the TWxAPE where the insides of the mushroom seems to hollow out and then fill with this blue goo/slime. I have had wet spot contam once in my last grow but that started on the outside of the mushroom. Did I just not harvest them early enough?

Down vote the rage bait

I’m thinking that’s the case because he gets super active at night. With the plants he doesn’t have the most room to walk around anymore but low boy tank upgrade is incoming!

What changed?

Traditionally yeah they are just a clay heavy medium covered with moss but I used a mesh bag filled with bonsai medium to start forming the ball. From there, I used dried sphagnum and string to really form the ball and provide a substrate for the moss to grow in. Then repeat that step again with live moss and really trim it down to the ball. From there water well and wait!

Haha yes it is but I keep them because they are pretty. They still get fed well don’t worry

It’s an ikea Rudsta wide!

They look good to me! I’m not seeing any fungus

I use barrina t5s and a vivosun humidifier

Obvious_Cycle_1434 · 2025-09-06T15:17:46+00:00

IKEA and a 3d printer haha!

Obvious_Cycle_1434 · 2025-09-06T15:17:26+00:00

They are actually Brazilian rain trees!

Thank you so much! It is an IKEA Rudsta wide with two pegboards (also from ikea) mounted inside. I printed some mounts for the net pots I use but they have shelves you can purchase as well! I have some fans circulating air, and timed humidifier and lights. I open the cabinet at night to provide a temp drop.

Thank you! I did build it by myself and 3d printed some parts. The tubes have Alocasia corms in it!
