Hey there, The tank is looking good.
Nice stuff you have in there.
Can't see the xenia, is it hiding?

LOVE the fuge setup! Great work! I see you have a standard powerhead pumping water into the fuge, what do you have pumping water out? Dying to know!

I think I killed the xenia it stopped pulsing and stretched out looking all funny so I scraped it off. Maybe I will give it another shot when I'm brave enough to have another one

[Midknight]

Well anytime you want another peice I will just replace the first one.
How long was it "stretched out"?I find it does some odd stuff at time. I just leave it and a day or so later it is back to normal.

Thanks!

It was good for about a week and then it kept stretching after that till it didn't look like xenia anymore, and turned pink,and stopped pulsing. Though it but parts of it was beginning to shrivelled up.

I scraped it off just last week.

I didn't make the refugium, mykiss made it for me. There is the powerhead pumping water into the fuge and then another tube on the other end that goes into the tank. Mykiss explained to me as the water level equals out between the tank it will pump excess water back into the main tank. But I don't know how, but it works!

ahhh - right, that makes sense - it's just like cleaning the tank using a gravel cleaner, the joys of gravity!

What powerhead do you have running the flow? I have a MJ 400 and it's so bloody much I've now pointed it back towards the rear of the tank to equalize things a bit.

I have a maxjet 400 too it was great but then I got my clown goby which seems uncomfortable in it. What other options are there?
