[Rahulreece]

Hi I got pulsing Xenia and GSP from friends tank .I place it 12hr before after that night I switched off the light .GSP starts to come out ,but Xenia is not looking good ,I have diy Marine blue light with 30watss and nano tank with 90liters and medium flow from return no wavemakers added.Before turing on the light Xenia is flat now stands off after on the lights.I've attached a file for reference and how much Max and min nitrate and phosphate these two can handle.In before I have green and brown alage in my tank

I can’t see the video but perhaps a wave maker will help.

I’m on an iPad but it was black on my phone as well. What are your parameters?

 

[DenverSaltyFarm]

Instead of video do you have photo of tank?

Also is there other corals in the tank or is this your first corals you have added?

What are your parameters? How long has your system been running? Do you have fish currently?

they look good, might be a bit too much flow for the small Xenia. Also, sounds like someone dropped every frying pan in your place, lol

Pulse are getting separated

I bought a Blood Red Xenia from a fellow Hobbyist, took about a week for it to be fully out. They don’t like a lot of harsh flow, just a barely perceivable back and forth. It’s behind a large rock mounted on a smaller rock. On opposite side, of aquarium is a Jebao Crosswave. They like lots of light slowly introduced. I have a Chanzon Royal Blue 30W 440nm-450nm COB LED that comes on an hour at a time two times a day. If you want a materials list for this DIY, Let me know. I Can’t afford to fork out 2 to 3k for a light that’s going to be junk in two years.

did you shut the flow off? it needs flow, just not a lot when they are so new.

Yes returned off

Give them a chance, they'll perk up.

There was too much flow before, now there is none. Add some flow and be patient. Xenias are very hard to kill… In fact you try to get rid of it and it always comes back !

These things can literally grow in a toilet (not much of an exaggeration).

Mine is in less flow. And patience.. sometime it just takes some time.

First impression: Ooh, look how cute they are when they pulse.
Second impression: Neat, they're spreading so quickly.
Last impression: Why won't these things ****ing die?! I keep pulling them out and tiny colonies keep popping up everywhere. I hate xenias!

Mine were taking over one corner of my frag tank and then I guess they used up something they need and melted back to just a few healthy looking patches.

Pretty soon the xenia will be growing outside of the tank in your yard.
