my xenia is drooping and shriveling

he was standing tall yesterday but now he is all bent over and little
does anyone know what could be causing this?

 

slightly

 

That'll do it, mine is an alk meter.

 

what do you recommend i do? my friend just told me to do water changes,

 

Do you have any buffer? I use this:

Kent Marine Products Superbuffer-dKH

What are the rest of your parameters?

 

From what I have learned, my tree also lets me know of any changes in the tank that need attention, although there were many times I thought the thing was dead! What a toughy mine turned out to be! It tells me when not enough light, too warm, too cold and everything else. I check everything when the tree slumps, and when corrected, he rewards me! He just "sleeps" at night,and now can go 4 times his sleepng size when the lights come back on. I feed him "Coral Vital" every few days. It's a German company, because my lfs told me American stuff wasn't regulated as much. (I always buy American if I can though) I came home from a short trip once, and I freaked, as he was laying, purple. I fixed his conditions and he popped right back in a few hours! I'm a newbie,but he is sorta my tank gauge! Hope this helps!

 

i wouldnt worry too much about a kenya tree unless you see it melting. they are very hardy and can tollerate a wide variety of fluctuations (ie your params).
