Xenia flow concerns

[Nick Steele]

Hello just last week I added a Xenia to my 20G Nuvo. I’ve read it can go in low-high flow it will just grow different. I placed mine in the front right corner and power head is on front left corner facing the right back corner. Kind of creating a circular current. The Xenia is usually out during the day swaying away but I’m not sure if it’s too much.

Here is what my powerhead is pointed like and what I believe the flow is doing. I can’t really feel it with my hand. The Xenia is the red line flow is yellow line

Here is a picture of the Xenia.

They can handle moderate flow with no problem. Mine are usually more extended than this, but it's early and the lights just came on.

I have one spot that gets blasted so much periodically that the xenia migrated from the frag plug they were on to the rock and another thats getting to big and also gets a good deal of flow periodically. I think they can handle quite a bit and wouldn't worry too much about yours. Xenia are tough to kill in my experience.

Maybe it’s something to do with IPhone. Can you maybe post a screenshot from the video though?

I had one right infront of pump getting blasted and grew like crazy so I would say it will probably be fine

That looks nice! I’ll have to play with my pump to try and get a wave going through the tank. I just have it at one set speed for the time being.
