No, the rides only about 10-15 minutes. I drip acclimate them for 3-4 hours. It seems as if they start out Ok for months and then just slowly wilt away.

How do you know that your TDS shot up? How did you test for them?

Could you possibly describe your complete set up. Size of tank, type and wattage of lighting. Brand of salt mix, type of water, tap, distilled or RO. Any and all supplements added, and I mean anything. What your parameters are, your temperature, what you test for. Where are the Xenia in your...

You did it correctly. Just slice off a piece and attach it to a piece of rock. Use a piece of netting to hold it in place. Use a rubberband to hold the netting in place. I've been trying to keep Xenia for over a year now but they dont seem to like my tank.

Boy do I feel like an idiot. I also have the Sera master test kit. I didnt realize that it also contained a Calcium test kit. Anyway I tested with it and my calcium was perfect. The kit says you multiply the number of drops by 20 and that is your reading. So I got to thinking that maybe API had...

Xenia is my favorite coral but I can't seem to keep it in my tank. I tried everything. I have a fuge and thought that maybe the Xenia and macro were competing for nitrates so I even tried holding off on amount of water change to let nitrates build up but that didnt help. Evan before I had the...

No Ryan, its an Aquarium Pharm Inc calcium kit. I got it at Pets Plus. I just tested again and its still off the chart. I just checked, and I've ben adding calcium through the Coral-vite, Micro-vert and through the Zoe vitamins.

I'm having problems keeping Xenia in my tank. I was told that it could be a lack of calcium since I was never supplementing calcium in my tank. I did start supplementing Coral-vite which has calcium in it. Anyway, I was told to test my calcium. I bought an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals calcium test...

Got pics of the tank and stand? Also, how much are you asking for them?

I agree with the above, do not add and supplements until you fix the problem and are able to test for the supplements. You say that your water is at 14ppm but you dont say for what. What did you test it for?

If you run the water through the skimmer before the refugium, you will be removing nutrients that are need in the refugium. You will be better off as Squidd suggested to have the return in the center. Either have a dual overflow or split it with one going to refugium and the other to skimmer...

I would also recomend stainless steel screws.

fill the sump with water, let it sit for a week and then test it for copper.

Just put a smaller container inside a larger container to make a sump. The walls of the smaller container become the baffles. Purchase some rubble rock to place inside the smaller container to keep it from floating around. Your tank should drain into the smaller container which will overflow...

Got pics of the tank and stand? I have a 12 gallon JBJ nano that I was looking to get rid of, it was only set up for about 3 months and then I upgraded to a 45.
