Awesome looking clowns. Love that trachy. Found one that's similar to that one and almost bought it. Lol those zoas pictures I believe are pink hippo or chuckys bride. A great addition to have.

I got them at a local frag swap and didn't even know their name. I just loved the colors of them :)

I do have Xenia and I have heard they use it like crazy too.

Xenia may even use more Nitrate than Macroalgae would. I would guess it is not as likely to be iron limited. It will be interesting to watch its growth while you are dosing NO3.

I am worried that it is going to spread. I may just take it out to get it before it does...
That is a very valid concern.

I still worry about my GSP even though I keep it isolated on a rock.

I have xenia and seem not to be able eradicate it.
I cut it, ripped it from rocks, covered it with epoxy,... but still some is always coming back.
Taking out the rock would be the end I guess.

So my wife went to the LFS today and got me these 2. They are tiny, about 1" to 1.25" . That's my torch on the right on the opposite end of the tank from the clowns....

Today's Parameters

pH - 8.2
Sal - 1.0245
NO3 - 5
PO4 - .046
dkH - 7.62
Ca - 410
Mg - 1420

Looks like everything is lining up good. New cardinals are still with us although I have not seen them eat but they do pick at the rocks. I have tons of pods in there so I believe they are getting some food.

Today is day 90 of this tank :) Birthday FTS ;)
