I found that xenia did fine until my parameters reached the ULN levels (nitrate less than 0.2 and phosphate less than 0.03. When my parameters reached those low levels, the xenia just melted away. 
Xenia, good questions.

The thought has crossed my mind...and yet another variable to throw into the 'healthy xenia' discussion.
My tank looks better when I shoot vodka as well. Maybe we are on to something?
Thinking about this thread and something that happened in my tank a few years ago, I remember a time when I had two colonies of xenia that had come from the same parent. Each were on opposite ends of the tank but in similar flow, lighting, etc. I came home one day and one of the colonies had completely melted away in classic xenia style. The other colony continued unscathed. The daughters are still in my tank to this day. My tank at the time had a meager skimmer, relatively strong lighting, good flow, and GAC. No VSV or GFO were being used back then.
