Really need to make some change's to the rock but just need to find the time and the energy to do so. Plus the wife hate's it when I make a mess in the living room.

I went with a full KZ set-up this time, got all the bulbs from my good friends Kevin @ Red Coral Calgary.

Well not all of it looks that good I know for sure that I still have 1 sand sifting star but there should be 2. Also have an orange spot sand sifting goby that move's and cleans sand ALL DAY LONG. He lives under the rock that is covered in GSP so I move it around once in a while to different parts of the tank.

I would like to have some more sand stars and a blue spot goby but don't think the orange spot would behave.
