Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Yeah,its growing.
From what I can tell about xenia,its either gonna grow like a weed or die.It does look good though if you can keep it under control.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Do you really want the xenias to grow.I don't think isolating them will keep them in check.I have colonies on another side of the tank that came out of nowhere.I must have a hundred colonies now spanning about two square feet of real estate.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Ryan,
thank you for your kind words. I have been away from the forum for a while and not been keeping people updated on the progress of my tanks. I have done some minor overhauling on both my tanks and just have been too lazy to post pics. I hope to find time to update those interested in my tanks to show how things are going. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 shark / angel reef tank and 90 gallon reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

I have been culturing xenia for my LFS, both silver-tip and pompom varieties and have been surprised how fast they both grow and how much people want them around here. the pompom xenia goes for about $40 a head, so each one is worth $20 to me. I just cut off three heads and got a sweet looking florescent green open brain in trade. Trying to find me a good clam as well. My orange rics finally split all the way, etc. Nothing super different. I am expecting some cool stuff from everyone else with tax season to close tho -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 shark / angel reef tank and 90 gallon reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I started off with one stalk of pulsing xenia, and they've taken over and now I have 30 to 50 stalks. That's a great idea to make some extra money because the pulsing variety sell for pretty expensive at my LFS. Marco, how do you secure your xenia fraglets? Rubber bands? Thread and needle? I'm thinking of getting a bunch of LR rubble from my LFS and taking a razor blade to my colony and start chopping away.
