xenia question

[jimknutson]

I have never had success with xenia. I have bought xenia multiple times an each time after a week or so they shrivel up. Everything else in my tank grows fine from my nems to zoas to sps. Is there a secret to them. I also can't get gsp to grow, but the gsp never shrivels or dies just never grows. My nitrates are always in line on the low side and had po4 tested on the Hannah at .15. Calc 425, alk 9.2 dkh, mg 1320. Temp 79 always.

The one thing you aren't listing is salinity. I have no problem growing this weed and I keep my salinity at 1.025. If you're running lower than that, there is likely the problem. Though some people just have bad luck with the stuff.

My bad I keep salinity at 1.026.
