I put in my xenia, (I was secretly hoping to kill it) And I was close for a while, then my parameters evened out, so much to my surprise, I will soon have to frag it! and a lot of it... any one in the edmonton area want some small free xenia frags when the time comes?

I started up with one blue damsel and a clean up crew of half a dozen snails and hermits.
I went a little crazy on corals frags on start up and now that my tank is thriving the corals are completely covering all of the LR.
I picked up a Pom Pom Xenia and a Pulsing Xenia both. They are beautiful but they spread like the plague.

My regrets....
The blue damsel is a huge bully and he seems to get worse as he gets older.
All of the corals are doing great but the tank is starting to look crowded. Next time I will pick and choose the corals more carefully and grow out large colonies of each.
I will never again have any Xenia in my SW tanks...or any other similar coral.

I don't remember the first thing I put in but my biggest regret was a piece of live rock with some colt coral on it. Wouldn't wish that crap on my worst enemy!

Colt coral is my plague. It just keeps fragging itsef and spreading all over. I got the xenia to stay put in one rock and has never spread beyond that.

I cheated and started with an already running FO (fish only) system that I bought used. Since then I've always just transferred the inhabitants of an old tank into a new tank and never actually started from nothing.
