Your xenia will do great. Sometimes it just takes more time for them to open up.

 

your have a answer for everything lol XD

 

77-83 is where it *should* be, but there's always wiggle room - you find what works best for you and stick with it. You might be considered slightly high but its "ok"....no worries. I agree with the other responses, your Xenia will respond nicely for you shortly.

is your ph always this high? i would bet that the LFS where the coral came from is not that high. probably needs more time to adjust. seems to me your calcium is a tad on the low side as well. might want to bump up to 420. you have alot of calcium consumption going on in your tank might need to increase your suppliment IMO.

 

i got a calcium supplament i added a ap witch is for 50 gallons mine is a 55 im checking m ycalcium later today i checked it agiain today its now 400
