Can you take a picture of how you have the G3 set up?
 
As for the xenia, do you have an iodine test kit? I for the life of me can not keep xenia alive. Most people complain that it grows like a weed, and for me it just shrivels away. I've been told that they need iodine, but I'm not sure. Everything else thrives in my tank, that's just the one coral I can't keep.
 
What are your water parameters?

Xenia will shrink away to nothing if the flow is to much post a pics so we can see.

I'd have to disagree about the flow, mine get pounded and they are huge and spread like crazy.
Ive read several places that say that they need nitrates so if you are running a reactor or a scrubber that might be why the xenia isn't doing so well.

I totally agree, they love nitrates. They do not however like the flow too strong they will move away from it, they spread as they go.
