When you say shrivel up... are the lights off? Xenia will shrink and close up at times. My xenia does every night. A picture would help. You will know if it is dying because it will look like it is melting away.

i was going to add it tonight, should i not? I thought maybe ph has something to do whats going on possiably?
Do not add it at night. It is normal for PH swings at night. That buffer should be added in the morning.
Your PH issues very well could be the reason why your Xenia is acting funny. Does your xenia ever close up?

sometimes, most of the time it does very well, I've had only good luck with this Xenia until now. should i add when the lights are on right? if so I'll wait until then. thanks for the help.
During the day is best to add that buffer. Keep an eye on the Xenia because it could easily make a full recovery.

The OP obvisouly does not sign on to often. Lets say there was a change in water flow. Example - Xenia was getting high flow but now is getting moderate flow. Your thoughts?
