Hi experts,
I have pulsing Xenia taking over my tank to a point where it surrounds my acro and other corals. This creates shadow and hampers their growth. (My birdsnest has a brown tip!)
What is the best way to get rid of 50% or more of the pulsing xenia from my rock without:
- Having it release toxins that will hurt me or the tank inhabitants
- Doing a messy job, leaving scar tissue and will create an ammonia spike.
My take is a 40B with a 29G sump. All my parameters are good, except my nitrates at 20, which I'm trying to fix by doing regular water changes.
