Ok, but I think I need to sell my body for that kit at $225.  I just
started a reef tank which quickly exhausted all my play money.
<sigh>  When I wrote for the computer press all I needed to do was

If I get above 12 or so then the algae appears. I'd like to keep it
down in the 3 - 6 range, but lately it seems to want to stay up
