That`s a pretty good video for those thinking about getting some of those. Good Job.

if you want I can overnight some to you just pay the shipping charges and I'll send you 3 or 4 stalks for free... These things are growing like weeds... but I like them a lot I wish my tank was bigger for them....

 

[melosu58]

Well thanks Frankie but no thanks. You said the key word, "weeds". That`s what they grow like. LOL

Hey it was worth a shot, but I heard if you put some star polyps next to them it keeps them in check.

See those rocks above the xenia patch? Well, might as well start imagining how they look covered with xenia too. I always recommend placing the xenia high in the tank since it will grow towards the light - quickly, and take over almost everything in its path.

And you've got that elongata variety. Weed is an understatement IMO. Pom pom grows a bit slower and is prettier I think. I do also believe it's time for you to start propogating and thinning. I got small pcs of rock and affixed xenia to it. After it attached, my lfs gave me $8 per for them. They'd fly out of the store. I'll see if I can dig up my old "tutorial" thread on it somehow and post it again here.

Here's an old post of mine with xenia propogation pics. I prefer the rubberband method.
