    cool cool cool....ya know..just a side note..if you bump up you Mg a little(1400) you will be able to regulate your Ca better. 440 is ok. 420 is the magic #


    hmmmm....

    went from low - med flow areas ....I actually thought it died ....little puddle.....but I took it out of the 90 gallon and placed it into the freshly cycled 125 gallon tank ( 4 weeks old all parameters are good ) ....and it has popped up a little in last 4 days

    OOPS ??? Was told to leave it for 4-5 days if no change move it ? I think thats why LFS decided it was iodine ...stripped from the 90 gallon...hence the Lugols

    are you wanting to keep it in the 125? or is that temp? I'd say if it's happy there, leave it. both the fs and the xenia like med flow just not to get blasted, they like to be waved around but not real rough. and med-med high lighting.

    wait a good week before you move them. they will let you know if they are happy, but I think you've already figured that out;)

    no actually, I'd say this sounds more like they are unhappy due to location. If the xenia opened up a little after moving, that tells me it wasn't happy in it's prior local. I'd wait to get that iodine test kit in and dose the whole tank, ONLY if the test reveals it's needed:)
