HI, thanks for responding!! Understanding a little...first I have a cannister filter, limits the heck out of this and did not realize this when we started this project.. I would have to have a pump and all that I am sure....etc....would love to have some step by step instructions how to have...

yes on the 90....

thanks, I might see if they will let me swap for something else, what do you recommend?

I have the coralife pc 260w actinic/blue moon

well at least I know that is normal that they shrink up some. I have one sitting kind of low in tank....it seems fine for now but should I raise these up for more lighting? required?

Hi yes, tank is fully cycled....as of a few days ago....just put 2 small frags of xenia in....and the only thing else are some cleaner crew... These things look like clear hair about 1/4 inch long or so maybe to 1/2 inch. Nitrites are at 10...did first water change yesterday. They do seem to...

do you think the filter will take care of it, anything I should do, do you have a pic of that kind of algae by chance for comparison?

seems when we turn off the lights, they get real whimpy and look stressed much more....is this normal?

I have 260w...pc coralite setup with actinic and moon, total is 260w..is this not enough for these corals? LFS told me enough but they also told me they require low light and now I see otherwise, shold I take them back and get something else? thanks! I will probably do what you did with your...

TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF FOR A WHILE AND THEN BACK AND REALIZED THERE ARE TONS OF SHORT HAIR LOOKING THINGS FLOATING ALL IN THE TANK...WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!!! IS THIS BAD???? 90 GALLON, JUST PUT 2 FIRST CORALS IN, NO FISH....JUST STARTING UP THE SKIMMER TODAY....HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET...WORRIED...

IT IS A HANG ON skimmer....pump is a mag3...I am going to order 2 more maxijet 1200's....I think that will get me close for reef. does that sound right? gets me to about 1700 best I think I can do

I got them from my lfs. Trying to get at least the first few things there so I can get some experience. what do you think?

THANK YOU, hoping they will do ok....the darker one is so pretty....but both are gorgeous. do you know how long they take until they really acclimate and start pulsing again more?

Hi,just got 2 xenias, first thing ever in my new cycled tank besides some cleanup crew. They seem to be blowing in the current fine....both have opened but not really pulsing at the moment, is this ok? How long does it take them to acclimate? thanks!! Here at pics!!

figured, our LFS said these are super hardy......grrrrrrrr

thanks for the info....did not mean to sound like I was telling him cannister better, sorry!! I love the cannister I have. I don't run any carbon, is this really necessary and for what? Just so I know. I don't worry about the connectors at all on this filter, they have double locks on intake...

well you definitely need powerheads.....I am thinking we have our xenia's placed better, but now worried about them. Our lfs said they don't rely on photosynthesis, I see online other things....high light? hmmmm, I have 260W that is it. 90 gallon, so now i am worried. placed one about 1/2 way...

TONIGHT put my first little coral frags in. 2 xenias...one seemed like it was about to blow away and we had to keep trying to move it. I guess with my gph which when the skimmer comes will give me a total of 1046....now I have about 700 and it is so blowing, how do you know how to place so...

I am not sure I agree. We have an eheim 2217....cannister, it is fantastic. No, I don't get night nitrates, even during my cycle, my nitrates never got past 10. We take the carbon piece out of it after the cycle, not necessary. Our tank looks terrific. The only other filtration we have is...

HI!! I have a new cycled 90 gallon with 100 lbs of rock in it. I have 2 maxijet 900's on it...not sure what gph is or how much do I truly need? help!! thank you.
