in moderation, all corals will be fine. to play safe, get a test kit. otherwise, dose sparingly and accordingly to the acceleration/decelaration of growth of your xenia/various macro algae that uses it as well.

part of the fun of this hobby is watching things grow into the tank.
IME - the less you move things around, the faster things acclimatize and grow quickly.

I agree about waiting for GSP and Xenia to grow on their own! Don't waste money on them...they are just like weeds in a garden. I made the accident of introducing Xenia to my reef and it took only about three months for it to take over EVERY rock in the tank! I personally hate the stuff now but I think if your tank is not a reef and just FOWLR it would look pretty nice! Just give it time. Your tank conditions do need to be good for it to grow also.

Thanks for the input guys... sometimes i get abit impatient, but of the xenias and GSP's i have now in the FOWLR, it looks fantastic, especially when the eels stick their heads through.

Patience..... i can do that..... well im away for 8 weeks so maybe when i get back they will be in full bloom and i can give some away
