If it were me... I get the Xenia out. Soft corals can release chemical war fair on other corals. Had a Toadstool years ago. Every time I added a new LPS or SPS the Toadstool could sense (smell) them in the water flow. That joker would always start releasing chemicals in the war and the chemical war fair was on. This is how they hold and take over new space in the wild on coral reefs. Finally got him out and my entire reef calmed down.anybody think I should try the red sea reef energy A and B, or just start with removing most of the xenia and feeding more?
Thanks, That's how Lou from Tropic Marin explained it to me years ago.Thanks for the advice guys!!! I'm actually more excited about this than any of the other suggestions/ideas I've tried before.
I'm gonna follow these suggestions, and see how things look in a month or so.
I'll get another magnesium test. I understand it needs checked, as that was the one I was checking most at one point, when I was getting my parameters where they should be, and went through more of those tests than any other actually. A couple years ago when I started addressing my problems, it was around 1500, then after getting everything squared away, it runs about 1350, and I add Kent Tech M as maintenance...
GoVols, I love the grease/saliva analogy!!!!
Ugh, good advice meshmez. How to avoid that? Just with nitrates and phos?
+1) Since you pulled out 50% you need to watch nitrate & phos.ya, I would monitor nitrates and phosphate for sure.
