      Errrr help?

      Did a 15g water change in my 60g tank last night. Now my xenia looks like something out of resident evil. Any suggestions? All parameters are normal, was having some temperature issues to 81f, but new chiller in place today. Temperature now 78f.

      Any ideas would be appreciated.

      Xenia don't like heat, or large water changes. You may want to add some iodine, as that is one of the chems that they readily use. Careful as to the dosing, it is easy to overdose.

      my xenia does fine in my tank, even when it reaches 86*
      I have noticed the iodine addition helping when I did have a crash of my xenia (couple years ago) But only use it when it looks bad

      Errrr help?

      Thank you Reefers!!!

      Spoke with someone at PK, apparently, iodine can be a risky proposition, too much or too little is a problem.

      Gonna wait it out and cross my fingers and toes. Gonna go with my mantra of if you ignore your problems, they will eventually go away. I will update with my no-active approach.
