Default Hello

Hi Everyone,
I have a 75 gallon reef tank that is about 5 months old. Still have a couple of blue Damsels in there (replacing soon). I have a few mushrooms, zoas, green star polyps, candy cane, acan lord, and a new blue and red tipped acro, Also have a xenia that is not looking to good.The xenia is about a month old. I am new to the hobby and loving it.

Welcome to RB Dan! Xenias are a tough coral to figure out. They do good in some tanks and just melt away in others. Generally, they like "dirtier" water than most corals and benefit from Iodine dosing. Just don't overdose on Iodine because it can be very deadly to your livestock and don't skip good maintenance practices to allow your water to get dirtier for your Xenia, because then your other corals will start to suffer.

Hey, well, well......I see you made your way over here! This is a good forum, a little less trafficked than the "other" forum we were talking on, but none the less a good forum. Welcome.

So you have been doing this hobby for a long time I see? Any advice? Where do you get most of your stuff? Have you ever been to tropicorium? It is 5 minutes from me but I am not sure about the place.
Thanks.
