Too much flow to corals on purpose.

What would happen if I blast a lot of flow on to xenia and kennya tree coral on purpose. I am wanting to try ang eradicate them and cutting does the job for a little while but comes back thicker and fuller. Could id be possible to blast so much flow at it to where it will naturally shrink away. If only I could get rid of these weeds.

 

It might for the xenia put them in still water and they will die off. Kenya I am not sure.

 

Ya that should work. I've also made kalk paste and treated Xenia like Aptasia

 

Give the xenia to me, I'm sure they would die lol.
Never had success with it.

I've heard that if GSP gets too much flow they don't spread but I don't know if it's the same for the Kenya Tree and Xenia.

I've had my Kenya for about 2 months and it isn't spreading at all.

 

Good Idea Though

 

Would the flow help with the kennya tree as well I have a Sherwood forest of each and ready to be done with this weed. I have never made kalk paste in a big quantity like I would need to cover this much area, Does this stuff harden like a rock.
Would you try flow or paste

 

My gsp psp and ysp all have high flow and spread like crazy
I have kennya stalks that are a inch in diameter and the top is oped up to almost the size of a volley ball

 

Im not exactly sure what i did to my gsp but it jus kinda stopped opening and released from the rock and floated away. It mighta been more flow or because i gave it a lil less light.

I would try the kalk paste, seems more surefire than too much flow. Too much flow which might take weeks or months for them to give up.

It won't harden up in water, turn off all your flow in the tank for a while, be careful dispensing the paste with a syringe or something similar and spread it around and leave it for a good bit, 20-30 minutes at least. Maybe be ready for a small cleanup reapplication in a few days or weeks if you really have a lot of weeds.

I would maybe try some manual removal of the bulk of the weeds first as well and leave the kalk to clean up the rest. Use a razor or scissors or something to get most of it out first.
