SRC Member pegasus1010 Posted January 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 1, 2005 try them in mid flow area. it looks upside down btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member woonming Posted January 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 1, 2005 They are very easy to keep in fact grow like weeds.. My 2 cents But my point of view, specially Ph level plays a big part and medium flow rate is good. For me i dose small amount of iodine weekly. Best is to bring them out before it melt in your tank which may affect other corals like sps. Ming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Ancelot Posted January 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2005 Lack of iodine will kill it. Heard before that a reefer introduced carbon into his tank. And before he knew it. His xenia was killed. Because iodine levels dropped to serious levels.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 check ur water flow... mine melt when flow not enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Ancelot Posted January 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2005 Carbon will absorb iodine? Iodine = trace elements mahz. and so carbon absorbs it too lor.. Stupid carbon..but i still like what it does.. But xenia definitely needs a lot of iodine. Best if you can use lugol's solution which is imo a highly potent iodine solution and drip considerately..

But xenia definitely needs a lot of iodine. Best if you can use lugol's solution which is imo a highly potent iodine solution and drip considerately.. The problem is Lugol solution is so expensive. Went to SL and the big bottle of Kent Lugol cost $30+. Anyone knows of any cheap lobang for Lugol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Ancelot Posted January 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2005 Small money dont go big money dont come... Lugol's solution I use sparingly. Expensive? Okie la.. depends on how you use it lor... Like i said use it sparingly and it lasts me 4 mths? thats quite long compared to the cheaper ones which i dose like quite a lot just to keep my corals happy?? Just my 2 cents worth...
