    Default pumping xenia's

    Some of my Xenia's have moved off the original rock from the LFS-- Most have planted on my LR but some flew off to the bottom of my tank-- How can I get them to plant on a rock? I am about to fish them off the bottom but I can't just sit them on a rock b/c the current will surely blow them off--- I am about to get them out now and just need some quick help so I won't lose these other xenias--

    there are all kinds of ways. you can sew it or glue it. i just put a rock on the base of the stem and let it sit for a few days.

    Try sandwiching the xenia's stock between two smallish rocks and hold in place with a zip tie. Worked for me.
