Xenia Problem?

[ronert]

Anyone know what might make Xenia shrivel up and look like it's giving up the ghost? I have a few stalks in a 75G tank, and they seem to be heading south on me. They have been doing fine for about 1-1/2 to 2 months. The last 2-3 days they have been really drawn in.

The xenia sets up fairly high in the tank so it gets about as much light as I got. Lighting for the tank is PC (1 - 50/50 and 1 - act. both @ 65W). Also, the pump discharge and a power head provide a good bit of flow across the top, so flow should not be a problem.

All other parameters seem fine. Any ideas?

My Xenias were looking like that, but that was because I had a rock slide in my tank, and the rock that the Xenias were on landed on the sand bed, smashing the Xenias. I thought for sure they were doomed, because they were all smashed, with white cloudy like stuff coming from it, but after a few days, they are up and pulsating again.
