    SO, what should I do? Are KH levels this high dangerous? Obviously, my actual water is pretty hard and so doing a water change isn't gonna help much. Suggestions? TIA, Jeanne

    Do I touch them? Do I bury the "trunk" of the shave brushes in the LS? The Shave brushes don't give me the heebeejeebees, but those tube worms do. How do I locate them in the tank? Will they find their way to wherever they want to be? They are acclimated and in the tank just waiting to be...
