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

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.
