Johnathan, A word to the wise on the xenia, it can get out of control. I just recently (yesterday) ripped out all the xenia in my 2.5 gallon. The stuff grows like wild fire and I was doing a weekly pruning and placing the stalks in bigger tanks. Now the other tanks are full and really don't need any more xenia in them. It will always work it's way to the top of the rock and spread out to shadow the other corals. Beside, it really smells like crap when you take it out of the tank to trim or move. Don't get me wrong, it is one of my favorite corals, it just becomes a plague after a while. If you keep up with it, it will be OK in the tank but the day may come when you just want it the hell out of your life. Oh yeah, and if it decides to crash on you which it is known to do at any time for no specific reason, and you don't get it out of the tank fast enough, you could risk killing off some other livestock as well.
