Here is mine under stock 14k 150 HQIs. I will be changing my bulbs out and going with a Phoenix 14k bulb, when I do, I will post newer pics and show any differences.

Come on Chico guys, don't tell me that the blue xenia doesn't impress you guys! I'm amazed by it and especially the colors!

If the lfs in town tell you they got a blue xenia, be cautious! A local lfs (don't wanna name names, but pm me if you want to know) told me they had a blue xenia.......so I said I gotta see this, show me.

Well he points to some pom pom xenias that were under 20k halides. LOL, the water is blue but the xenia is still white. Pretty hilarious trying to tell me he has blue xenias when without a doubt you could tell its not even blue and they are normal xenias. Pretty misleading too!

Anyways, give me a shout if you think this coral is cool cuz I think it is! :-)

Thumbs up Blue Xenia

OK Mike I am impressed. That Xenia real does look good and it pops. I like the glitter i the stalks. Nice coral man.

They are pretty cool - I wouldn't mind having some. But the pulsing ones - though like a weed when WQ is good - are still my favorite.

Mike, do you know from what region of the world they (blue xenia) hail from?
