I'm opening to the idea of putting them in my fuge. Anyone out there do this?
Do you keep pulsing xenia's in your fuge?

I've heard of people doing this. Pulsing xenia do remove access nutrients, so it isn't completely pointless. However, I think this happens because people trim their xenia from their main tank back and throw it in the fuge rather than in the trash. I wouldn't do it though. I just set some macroalgae and do fine with that.

pulsing Xenia are in fact kept in refugiums as to combate nitrates

Hey joe,
any reason not to do this. Any bad things that can happen?

You mean that I would have to shut the lights off in the fuge, as if it was a DT.
If so would that help with the PH changes with lights on and off? ( if I put them on opposite times.)

I run my lighting schedule opposite the DT. However, by doing this, I run it a lot longer than the DT. Therefore, running it on the opposite schedule may provide the xenia with too much light. I would probably have to cut back the lighting for it. Now in Joe's case, he keeps caulerpa. Putting some xenia in his refugium would be stupid. If he wanted the xenia to live, he wouldn't be able to run the lights 24/7 and he would chance the caulerpa going sexual...but if he wanted to run his lighting 24/7, the xenia would die.
Refugiums take planning, more than a lot of people realize.
