Anyone have good long term experience with pulsing Xenia. What is the secret to getting the pumping? I've heard everything from Strontium to Iodine to Molybdium...Kryptite...plutonium???

I'm really hesitant to add any additive unless I can test and measure to know where my levels should be.

So...xenia experts...what's the 411

Yeah, I think it's Kryptonite. Seriously, Xenia need two things good water and Iodine. Problem is I'm with you on not adding chemicals I can't test for. Get your Nitrates done and do frequent water changes. Smaller amounts once a week as opposed to one large change a month. That may get the little buggers pumping again.
