Ammonia Question

[Drock169]

Just wondering if soft corals like Xenia, are affected by ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates?

I'd expect that ammonia would be a problem at some level, although I don't know the limits. Nitrite and nitrate don't seem to be a problem at the levels seen in tanks.

ammonia can cause a problem more so than nitrite
but xenia acctually do better in higher nitrates than other corals...most likely because of all the nutrients in the water

I would be more worried about the xenia taking your tank over. Good beginner coral but can be more trouble then its worth. As these guys can grow fast and aggresive.

Everything is affected by Ammonia.
