Thank you, and good to know there are some folks nearby. We have been here since 2019 and love it. Are you aware of any reefing clubs in the area?

Thank you. Admittedly, I am having trouble getting Coral to grow though. I've managed to kill two pulsing Xenia. Who even does that? I thought it was supposed to be extremely aggressive. Anyway, I just did an ICP test waiting on results. Also, ordered some new lights as I am still using the Hydra 26's that came with my tank.

I need to do another ICP just to check on things. One thing that I've found is light intensity can make a big difference especially if everything else is not perfect. One of the best things I ever did was to get a Par meter and measure all possible coral placement spots at different intensities and record the results. This should help me to place corals better moving forward and set my lights correctly. This is where I recorded the results.

After reading how Blastos like very low light I found a spot on the sand under an overhang that seems to have made them very happy.

My understanding is pulsing Xenia can adapt to a variety lighting so your lights may or may not be the issue. It would be interesting to see the results of the ICP if you post them.
