Chris, I agree from a total tank crash I had the year ago when floyd struck NJ. The xenia was the only thing that survived. All other softies and lps died. Even after 3 days of 98 - 100 temps it survived. Even after everything died it made it. I was shocked to see that when I drained the tank after power was restored.
this is strange but about half my Xenias in my 90 melted this weekend. There not gone but not much left. The other half is fine. I havent done a WC in that tank for a couple weeks but its xenias!! they like dirty water. Nothing else is bothered. I was kind of happy to see them go but then again why? I will do water change tonight
Well let me ask u thing. Why did u end up with ammonia in the tank at all? I mean an established reef with proper filtration and proper fish load should run for a long time with out proper maint. And still not have ammonia issues. U said u fixed the ammonia issue. Did u ever figure out what caused the ammonia issue and what did u do to get it fixed?
Was a newer tank. It was cycled. However I'm assuming the bioload ended up greater then the filtration. So I went with a bigger sump, and more live rock which brought the ammonia down in about a a day or so. But that's just my theory. Otherwise I don't know where the ammonia came from
I kept forgetting around to posting. But they next day after you asked about the Birdsnest and montis I checked again. The birds of paradise had a dead section dead in the middle of it. Top and bottom were fine
