I have the chance to trade in some xenia at my LFS. He has some nice frags of pink birds nest that he will trade me. Before I do, I would like some practical advice. My set up is:
75 gallon, about 70lbs Live rock
2x150w 10,000k HQI
2x130w actinic PCs
sump, refugium, powerhead
I drip kalkwasser in my RO/DI makeup water
I change out a 5 gallon bucket of water per week
My water quality has been great
NH: 0
Nitrates/nitrites: 0
PH: 8.3
Alk: Normal (I need to get a test that gives me a better reading than low, normal, high - damn Red Sea test)
Ca: 520
Salinity: 1.023
Temp: 76
I have a plating montipora that I have been using as a guinea pig, and it is growing great. I know my temp is a little low but it had been so cold here that I was getting temp swings at night. I could keep it at 76 as a constant.
Any tips or anything I would need to tinker with to be able to successfully keep birds nest. What food have you had the most success with.
