Awesome, once I have a house instead of an apartment I'm most likely going to build one.

Well, it is a bit high... I'm not too sure how critical it is, but it shouldn't be too bad as long as you can take care of it pretty quickly... it really should be at or below 4.0 meq/L.

I had a small outbreak in my 75g, so I got one emerald crab and he took care of it. I think they are great and is the only effective method that I know of besides manually removing them.
