    Fragging Xenia

    I cut my xenia and then put a tooth pick through the base and rubber band it to a peice of rubble and in a day or two it will be attached. Then I remove the rubber band and tooth pick. The hole in the frag will seal after a day and the frag is done.

    acclimating metal hailides?

    acclimating metal hailides?

    Is this a new setup or lighting upgrade? I would start with a reduced lighting period of 2-4 hrs for mh and pc's add 1 hr every 3-4 days until you get to the lighting period you want. Make sure you watch tank temp and evaporation.
