I lost my Xenia also last week, I figured it was from the high temps ~32 C and it only took about 24 hrs. So what I did was pull the rock that the Xenia was on and scrubbed it with a toothbrush, did a couple of water changes and changed the carbon. With the Xenia dying you could experience a bacteria bloom so oxygen levels may drop. My tank is back to normal (no Xenia) after a week.

Thanks for the tip, i suctioned it out when i did a water change this morning and i am getting another water change ready again for tomorrow. I will change the carbon as well. I have (had) him right near the top of the water column when i re-aquascaped, whereas he was always about mid column before, do yo uthink that could have caused the demise? Currently i only have 4 X 24w T5HO lights, so i am not sure if that would have been too intense for him.

Mine was form the recent heat wave we had on the coast, and another factor may be I just replaced RowaPhos in the reactor?
