HELP MY XENIA

hello

 

some of the stalks are turning yellowish green is that them dying. Should i remove the dead stalks.

 

heres what it used to look like about 5 days ago.

 

here's what it looks like now.

 

now i'm getting these green bubbles growing around my xenia stalks. what are they.

 

i cant quite tell what the green bubbles look like in the picture. if there kind of round and rubbery its probably bubble alge if its slimey with bubbles in it it might be cyano , which does it look like?

 

Hottie,
I believe that your temp may have done this. 86'f is way too hot you should keep your tank around 78-80 at all times.
If where you live is so hot that your tank will stay this temp year round then no you don't need one but I would get one and keep it in there just in case some cold night it does fall below 78'
You are really striving to not let the temp change at all. This is hard to do. I live in Vermont, so in the winter I defiantly need to have a heater, but come summer. I have to use air conditioners to keep the room cool. So that the tank temp doesn't soar into the 90's.
You see what the worst thing to do is let the temp go up then
bring it back down fast or vice versa the sudden swing is something that really hurts them.
I hope this helps you
Good luck!

 

well my tanks been at about 78 for the past 3 days but today is 102 degrees out and my tank is about 82-84 what can i do to help. my xenia i think is dead. all the stalks are greenish yellow.

 

Hi HL....

Are you checking the ammonia and such in your tank..?
If your xenia is dead, you don't want if fouling your water.... If it is decaying, you want to get it out of your tank!

I know you have clams and they are sensitive.

I hate it when I lose creatures. I lost my whole tank to an unseasonable heatwave while on vacation for a weekend. corals, clam, fish...everything.

It stinks :-[ :'(

 

ok i will get it out now.
