Tank has been up for about 2 1/2 years! I used to have that crushed coral substrate. Switched to DSB about 8 months ago, though. I know I should get some more live rock. I teach school, so the Christmas break is coming up in 2 days. I have plans to build a sump and redo the rockwork during this time. (I need someone to give me a deal on some live rock, though.)

Am I just being too anal about the readings? Or, does a hint of color really make that big of a difference?
Maybe I'm just tired or need more practice with this test kit. I'll test the water again tomorrow and post the results.

Oh! I just use dechlorinated tap water. I'd like to start using RO water, but getting it seems like a pain, and buying a unit for home just isn't going over real well with the wife. We'll see, though.

Oh! (again) I also have some nice colonies of mushrooms, yellow polyps, and green polyps that are doing great. I have a green finger leather, too, but it doesn't look so good.
