Thats pretty interesting actually, maybe thats why my pulsing xenia aren't doing so great. Im running a 65 gallon skimmer on my 20 gallon tank and I do frequent water changes, so my water is pristine.
Your water is probably TOO clean! Haha I still haven't seen an sps dominated reef that had a thriving Xenia colony yet. I don't know if its because they have a hard time keeping them alive with such clean water or if they are worried about them taking over their tanks. I have seen xenia's, not the pulsing kind, in mixed reefs with sps, lps and softies but yet to see any kind in a reef where the primary corals are sps.
I'm guessing they're small then and the amount of live rock and wc's are keeping the nitrates low. My tank is becoming impossible to keep the nitrates low with just my fimbriated moray now that he's grown to almost 2ft.
Yup I know what I'm doing most teenagers my age will geta tank and instantly add a million things to it like my parents and they didn't listen to me
Haha yeah, I've read that sometimes its just pretty much a shoot and a miss for some people and other people have great luck, some people will have it in more then one of there tanks and it does good in one tank and it doesn't do good in the other. They seem like they'd be an easy coral to care for as well.
Actually is looks like your taking everything relatively slow which is a good thing, you did set up your tank in march right? Most people your age will put tons of fish and coral in within the first month.
Yup did everything right tons of research over 5 months worth I know a lot about fish
