If you have Manderine's in your tank that bread then you must be doing something right.

I'm going to second the flow thing. Stoney corals will die if they don't have enough water flow to help them shead their slime. If you want to test your tank, the Xenia is a good tester. Give it some time to see if it starts to grow.

One thing I noticed, and it might be a typo, but your Carbonate hardness tested at 90? Also, what is your Magnesium levels at?

[Dobber]

yes carbonate hardness is at 90 and also the frekin xenias are dying but i think it is because my temp is fluctuating too much i woke up this morning and checked the temp and it was 70 a big jump from 80 last night i also definetly need more flow and also my xenias aren't even opening up they shrunk and closed right up but yes i had one pair of mandarines breed and it was sooo cool

Xenia like a high PH, and Iodide seems to make them pulse.

[Dobber]

my ph is about 8.4 what do you think high enough i mean they really look terrible they look like hairs compared to wat they were when i got them

[Joe Reefer]

What units are the 90 carbonate hardness in? If its in "american degrees of hardness" or mg/L then your alk is at about 1.8 meq/L or 5 dKH which is low and could be a problem.

Tom,

If your temp dropped to 70, then your heaters are either not working or not set right. A big temp change like that has got to be hard on your fish too.

[Dobber]

figured out the heating problem the socket that the one heater was plugged into burnt out so that is now fixed and my temp is no longer a problem and yes the alkalinity is sitting at 90 mg/L let me remind you all that i am running

!!!HAGEN TEST KITS!!!
