andy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've got a Xenia colony that needs a home. It's growing on a 3x6" piece of LR rubble and is threatening to spread. I'd be happiest if I were able trade it for something (anything!) but a savvy negotiator could likely take it off my hands for pretty-much nothing (okay... okay.. literally nothing).

dsoz Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Dang. If my tank was up and cycled, I'd do it :(. Can you hold it for a few weeks for my rock to cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecheese Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ditto here, although I could probably put it in my quarantine tank until all is good in the main tank (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'd love to take this off your hands...my tank is nearly cycled (ammonia 0, Nitrite <0.1 and dropping)... would this be too soon? Edit: You know what - scratch my interest. I need to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecheese Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Xenia Andy, this looks like the long stem Xenia on your picture, or is it the Pom Pom Xenia? JeffP and dsoz, this thing grows like crazy once it starts to take off , you might actually consider using the chain saw if it ever decides that your tank is a pretty good home. Soooooo how about whomever gets it grows it and frags it to the other two?(naughty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Soooooo how about whomever gets it grows it and frags it to the other two?(naughty) Hmm, I like the sounds of that! But my tank is still too new I think, so it might be better suited for someone else at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yeah, it grows like a weed in my tank thus the problem :-) It's the long-stem variety, Xenia elongata Hopefully someone can grab it soon, it's going to start climbing my tank back...

bluecheese Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Shrooms too? ReefStar Way To GO (rock2) Star saves the day ladies and gentleman (clap) and 5 happy reefers. Oh so are you also fragging that nice blue shroom, me like those a lot. They also grow very fast when they start liking the tank. If you have extra shroom by the time its Xenia harvest time, I would definitely be delighted to relieve your tank from one too many shrooms Have you tried to actually force reproduce that one ( you know the infamous mixer receipe) (laugh) ?????

I have many if you want some. I have offered him off for trade for the Xenia but I have 3 small ones you can have. Also I have not tried the mixer I really have no need, they grow like weeds in my tank. I just put rubble rock by them and BAM! another ready for transport. starr pic of the tree small ones and another of the main bunch I frag from.

bluecheese Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Awesome Rock! I love those. Thanks A bunch. What kind of lights do you have on those pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefStarrBow26 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 The small ones are under 50/50 pc's and the big one is under 150w 14k HQI starr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecheese Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Ahhh! That explains the difference in coloration. I Like the look under the PC. But are the one under the MH growing faster or is it equal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefStarrBow26 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I can't tell yet I just put them in them in there from my main tank. (over grow). I set it up for a frag/quarantine tank. it is a 5 gallon with 2x18w via aqua pc lights and a red sea nano hot filter for now. I plan on adding a small power head and upgrading the filter soon. Here is a pic of the Xeniya I got from Andy today under the 14k HQI. I think it looked better in his tank under 10k MH and a single 48" actinc VHO.

ReefStarrBow26 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thank you Andy for the very nice Xenia. I didn't read very well two see the 3x6 piece of rock part,.

parvo99 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Xenia grows like crazy in my tank, so I always have a few frags every month if anyone is interested, also I have a ton of those green striped mushrooms. I'm willing to trade for just about anything, or if you don't have anything, that's ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
