    Its already covered the whole thing and the rock is seriously about the size of a small watermelon.

    ....i dont necessarily want it to grow anymore. It just doesnt seem to like my tank for whatever reason

    yeah... particularly the anthelia. I would say this stuff doubles every month... exponentially... 2012 apocalypse? no. anthelia is taking over the world. it is nuts.

    i put it on my over flow for my HOB skimmer. so it is 100% contained. I threw most of it away and put a nickel sized patch on the overflow cup.

    within just 2-3 months, you can not see the cup. it is ridiculous.

    once a month i throw a baseball size amount of this away. slight exaggeration there.

    Xenia can over grow a tank in a year. It grows like a weed it can be annoying

    xenia, cluvaria, and gsp.

    Youll buy these corals... guaranteed 3 months later youll wish you never did. Youll be posting a thread how to rid your rock ( the ones supporting your reef) of these weeds.
