    Hey guys its been nearly 1 1/2 weeks - 2 weeks since it started this, but its not getting any better, mind you its no longer getting any worse either.
    http://www.3reef.com/forums/soft-corals/xenia-zoa-not-looking-so-hot-125003.html note that the zoas are now fine, My parameters are spot on, and the xenia is in medium(moderate) flow, it would close completely in high flow so I moved it any pointers?

    I just posted on your other thread-if your readings are correct then your Kh (alkalinity) is much to high.

    It took my pulsing xenia like almost 3 weeks to come out of it and now they're pulsing like crazy and doing really good. At the time I also went to halides and the wattage doubled.

    I don't know who told you your alk should be high but it's wrong info. You stated your using test strips, stop! Their very inaccurate. Yes their cheap but in this case you get what you pay for. For all we know your alk could be fine but for the strips we really don't know. Take a water sample to your LFS and have them test it.
