Yeah, they're a great price for HQI, T5s, white and blue LEDs. Basically an all-in-one. I have the Outer Orbit 2x150w over my 50g.

If the Xenia starts to rot, then it's probably over. If it's shrivelled and purple in colour it may bounce back. I've been dosing with iodine as of late and my Xenia is doing better but I can't...

Might cost a bit more but if you can splurge for a stainless steel scraper then you won't have to worry about rust on the blade. When taking off the coraline be careful not to scrape the silicone.

One other thing to add to the mix - if you change in the range of +40%, then many of your corals that are near the top are out of water. For a short time, this does not pose a problem, but if you're...
