Getting rid of Xenia

[darknes]

Nas, if you would be willing to ship some, I'd be willing to pay you for a little...I was looking into buying some Xenia anyways

I can give some frags(scraped off the glass) to anyone who can come get it.It won't ship well and I don't have time to do that anyway.I'm moving the tank before next weekend.

I always have tons but I don't think it would be best to ship at this point in time, it doesn't ship well and with the cold I don't think it would make it. I would hate to have you pay for shipping only for it to be a complete waste.

Just grab them at the base and slowly pull them off the rock... make sure the base

off so it doesn't grow back.

Yeah I have been doing that but some of it is so small its impossible to grab. Also if you don't get a good grip right away it deflates and then it's much more difficult to get off. I was hoping there was an easier, less smelly way to get rid of it. Maybe some boiling water will destroy the small pieces.

 

[reefnut]

kalk paste would do it. Boiling water would also probably work.

Since they are good in exporting nutrients, the fact that they are spreading might hint at a suitable high nutrient level, so lowering that might slow them down (if there is any to lower).

 

[nas19320]

It's possible I guess, though I don't have any nitrate problems nor do I have any algae issues and I keep my tank failry clean. I don't know if Xenia actually consumes nitrates or just absorbs it.
