I often pour a gallon right into the tank near a pump.

Xenia shrivel up all the time for whatever reason. I wouldn't worry about them too much. I poor mine right into the sump.

I pour straight into the tank. Freshwater is lighter than saltwater so it sits on top for a few moments until it gets mixed in. I wouldn't worry. A good storm drops freshwater into the ocean and coral seem to survive.Smile
