xenia question

[Snappy]

Might for you but not for me. I can't seem to get any xenia to pulse in my tanks.

Have you checked the water quality?

My system is geared towards sps so the water quality is very good.

How old are your bulbs? my xenia never pulsed until i upgraded my lighting system.

My lights are not the problem. I'm not sure
if pom pom xenia does pulse.

I find in most SPS tanks xenia can be a challenge. I find that my SPS tank has more flow than Xenia is comfortable with, try a spot where there is a lot less flow. I think Xenia requires a lot more nutrient than a normal SPS tank has.

Also if you have a wavebox hooked up its really hard to get it to pulse, or at least until the waves stop. Some varieties of Pom Poms pulse.

I had xenia pulsing like crazy under a pc light so I doubt thats your issue,I'm no expert but if its in a sps tank it sounds like your flow is too high for it.....or
maybe your light is too intense. Or maybe its being stung by one of your sps at night?

i had great xenia untill i got more into sps and upgraded my flow and lighting from PC to high MH and then the xenia went to ****

I have some xenia that snuck into my 175g on a powerhead, It's about 8" below a 250w mh light, lots of flow and its growing and pulsing like crazy. I don't think anyone really knows why they pulse or what causes them to stop but I suspect they love a high nutrient tank
