Best thing to do, is leave them alone. Zoas can be touchy especially if they have been moved around a bit. Just let everything be, and I bet they open back up for you.

Not sure about the xenias
I have never had them. I do know that they can be hit or miss in people's tanks. Some can't get rid of the stuff, others cannot keep it. I hope thats not the case and they are just being finicky. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Nissan,
I read that zoas that stretch out like that are reaching for brighter light. Just something I read, and don't worry about the xenia not pulsing, as long as they are opening. Mine haven't opened (much)for two weeks...

yea i thought it was cause of that too. thats why i wanna add more lr and add another light. you think the 3.36 mod will help a little? or the 4.4? something? i wanna get the 3.36 since im tight with money. its 108w in total. so i will be doing 3.72 watts. and the new bulb will be the 50/50. hopefully that will help. let me know.
and as for the xenias i really pray they start to pump

any lighting upgrade is good, hence the UPGRADE....j/k. Research the bulbs, some say a 50/50 is useless. I have 4 36w PC's (did the 4.36 nanotuner upg). I run 2 Act., 1 10K and the 50/50. I did this because I prefer the purple/ blue tint it gives the tank over the "yellow" effect of a 10k.

If you are going to do an upgrade you might as well do the halides. Reason being is if you add another pc, that will make 3. Have you looked at how much it costs to replace one of these bulbs. It's crazy
To get a great halide bulb in a 14k or 20k, you are looking at a good deal less that the pc's. Not to mention, power compacts are nowhere near as strong a light as halides. Just the way I look at it, that's why I am getting halides when my bulbs are done, which is probably another 4-6 months.

i would get MH's but the thing is the money cost! but i found this Odyssea 24" 130W! at a really great price! im doing 4.48 watts per gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hopefully thats perfect for my softies, and lps! im wondering can i keep a sps like a monti with that light?
and the cost for replacing that light wouldnt be a problem for me. i get great deals at my lfs
