Thanks for that! I have no way to check calcium, so I guess I'll be shopping again this weekend! Does it ever end??? (I already know that answer). Suggestions for a good Alk and calcium test? The only related test we have is an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals liquid KH test, and it was 23 as of yesterday. I'm not sure of the accuracy of those though. Advice?
I might also add that I'm really not extremely happy with all the plumbing and crap in the tank, but for this one I'll learn to live with it. I wish we'd found a drilled tank so we could have everything external, but oh well.
Also, the fuge light have been on 24/7 per advice from our LFS. There's so many opinions about that we are just plain confused. The fuge is a "hang-on" type, so at night the light spills over into the main tank, so it never gets totally dark. I'm open to suggestions on that. Yes, I know we just need to get a sump in the cabinet and be done, but that probably won't happen for a while.

Got a fish tank that you are proud of? Post some aquarium pics with descriptions here so we can check it out! Journals welcome!
