Pics wont come 2morro lol. I forgot to take my G.FS cam home with me! I dont know if I'm going to get the torch now. Now that I think of it whats the point in putting a torch near a fs, they are practically the same thing and people that dont know about SW tank will see them as the same thing when they look at it.
I think I'm going to go with the pulsing xeina, the gsp(which im scared to get since the rock is big and probably wont fit anywhere in my tank), and either some shrooms or the purple ric. We'll see 2morro!

So spent 140, bought gsp, purple ric, and a frag of pulsing xeina, some phytoplankton, and my water.
I am once again broke!

What kind of flow does the pulsing xeinia need???? Is it okay if its in medium - heavy flow?

The higher the flow the less you will notice the pulsing, which to me is the reason to buy pulsing xenia. They need some flow over them but I would not put the in front of the powerhead, nor would I put any coral directly in front of a powerhead.

What about the gsp? Do you think itll be okay under the ph? I saw the one at my LFS thats growing like crazzy under their powerheads.

Again IMO direct powerhead flow no, you will be able to tell what the coral thinks about it in very short order.

Yeah sorry lol, running out of room so I was sketching out since I didnt like the way things fit.
But with some rearanging trimming of the fs(the dead part that came with it) and finally epoxing things that needed to be. Everything fits fine and looks good:) the purple ric is already fully open, xeina is pulsing, and gsp is somewhat opening up.
Also I got a free coral hitcher with the xenia frag, a bleached out(probably because of the xeina shadding it) bright blue shroom.

if it is bleached out, how do you know it is bright blue??

lol I knew someone was going to say that haha. Under the actinc lights the shroom is white with a tint of neon blueish colour. So I'm guessing it's a bright blue colour when fully coloured.
I dont know when you'll see pics. I'm going to get the cam from my g.f tonight hopefully, then whenever I see her next she'll upload them lol.

Did yours take a while to open up when you put it in? Mines still not opened I'm wondering if its getting enough light and flow. I guess I'll leave it untill tomorrow.
