I haven't been around in quite some time. I started a new job and use the computer heavily during the day, and most of the time don't feel like using it when I get home. The tank is doing very well, so I wanted to show an update of some photos. I was going to post this in my old post, however I cannot find the one I was looking for. I put them in my Mobile Me Gallery as it is easier. So here goes....

Please take a look and let me know what you think. Any Suggestions? Tank is just over 14 Months old. Thanks

I don't think i missed anything..

Got water tested on saturday at LFS Nitrate Nitrite Ammonia 0 phosphates 0 calcium and ph were a little low, however I am working on that 380 an 8.0

380 is the minimum. Ideally shoot for ~420, with an alkalinity of at least 7 dKH, preferably above 8 dKH.

That is where I like to keep it, however something made a drop. Might be a bad bag of salt.
 
Seems like alot of inverts to me... and aren't the sand sifting stars really difficult to keep alive in captivity? I thought they almost always starved.
