My tank is a disaster. I will be starting over this weekend. NOt a lot of algae, but nothing else is growing either.

I use distilled water in the drop checkers.

My KH used to be about 2 but has decreased over time, so I was hoping to raise them both slightly.

What would be a good target?

How much crushed coral?

I am adding crushed coral to my sump to raise KH and GH. If my system is 100G, how much should I add? I was figuring 2 cups of well rinsed in a filter bag.

Anyone need a tank

I saw this on Craiglist

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/324218682.html

I email the guy and it has no stand, but the measurement are 48x13x21. That sounds like a 55G to me, not 40G.

It is still available and the guy will take less.
