    Hey J -

    Last addition was a sand-sifting star fish. It rocks. My sand looks great now.

    I am itching to load it with corals, but I have been holding off because my alk is low.

    I have been dosing sea chem 'reef builder' I believe it's called, to try and raise the alk. I use that kent-marine I.V. I got to dose it slowly. My 1st gallon was 1.5 teaspoons. But I still can't seem to get it over 7dkh. So I doubled the dosage and will test again this weekend.

    Other than one little tuft of hair algae, the tank looks good. Can't wait to add more!
    ;D

    It was one of the first things i add to my tank and no regrets. Sand looks brand new and they are fun to watch, better then watching my Maroon Clown destroy my sand bed!
