Hello, My xenia is still not perking up, it stays shriveled up and has ever since I bought this new pendant with balast from ice cap..... it is a new 250/400 pendant with a 400 w ballast, it has a 400 w 20k light in it.... i used to have 3 compact fl. lighting the tank they were all 96w one was a actinic, one a 50/50, and one a 10k.... ever since I changed lights my green star polyp has not been doing so well either... I have a 58 gal oceanic tank, two protien skimmers (one prism pro deluxe, and one muliti 1000) which are turned off b/c i thought that this was the first problem by over skimming the water for the xenia since they like kind of dirty water... temp of tank is 80, the bottom of the pendant is 12 inches from top of water, for filtration I have an filstar xp3, a water pump that cycles the tank with 1200 g.p.h., and a powerhead... I also have the 4 in sandbed for biological filtration... all measurments of ammonia, nitrate, nitrite are 0... when i did the calcuim test i had to drop 50 drops in the 5ml pipette for it to turn violet... and the specific gravity is 1.023... i think i gave you guys all I needed to give you, please help
