On a different note, changed my rock work today. What do those kitty litter clumps mean, especially since I have Dino's?? Dead sand right?
Which post? Magnesium and high pH didn't work for me. Not sure why magnesium anyway, isn't it the additive in tech=m brand rather than the actual magnesium? I'm dosing potassium nitrate, 5ppm added every 4 days and it is helping a LOT.

I have sand clumps too, but not all the time, and not always in the same area. They don't *seem* to be correlated with bad dinos. I think it's overenthusiastic bacteria. My alk and Ca levels certainly aren't super high. I inherited a conch, and a big ?nassarius snail and they have broken the clumps up except right near the rock.
