Hi Steve,

So, how deep is your sand bed ? If it isn't very deep, I would just add some finer sand (say dolomite lime and sandblasting sand) on top of the existing sand. Try not to disturb the existing sand since that creates more problems. Over time, the sand should sink into the tiny crevaces that were formed by the crush coral.

Say Steve (Tigger), where you trying to phone me yeasterday ?

- Victor.

Steve (Stir Crazy):
Have you put in the dolomite lime yet? I'm thinking of putting it in soon and I was just wondering what you thought of it. Did it cloud of the water for a long time? I'm still a little worried about putting it in.

Victor: Would it be possible to come by and see you tank set-up?

Steve
