I love pulsing xenia. If it turns into a weed in certain tanks, that's fine with my wife and I. The non-pulsing type, not so much.

This coming from the guy who just sold me some

Seriously though, the above advice is what I am going to follow
I'll keep mine to an area that I can easily remove it from, just in case it decides to spread
I haven't seen it become much of an issue in the tanks I have seen so far this year

I like it and will crop it as needed

I wasn't planning to. You asked for it (some people will think you're crazy now, of course).

It's all good
Yes, I asked Anthony to sell it to me, and my Wife is liking the flowing-ness of something other than 'sticks'

Only time will tell how I feel about it ...

I'm not overly excited about the color, but, when the Wife likes something, it's a win, so who cares what color it is

I had a bit and loved it. That bit turned into a bunch and I liked it. That bunch turned into a pile(even with frequent pruning) and I hated it. That pile turned into an infestation so I removed it all scraped the rock clean and now avoid it all together. Even after a very thurough cleaning it still is coming back from somewhere.

I found that covering whats left with kalk paste does the job.
that being said I have a tank that needs a lot of calcium and 50 gallons of water to dilute any bad effects.

I love the look of it but not how fast it grows or the smell. Damn that stuff stinks. Not as bad as Anthelia but a close second.
