Hi guys my rock is here got 130lb of marco dry rock and 30 lb of dry live rock. To het some colorine algae. However they are diff color. Do you know if marco rock will change the color as it looks really white now? Maybe i should not use live rock at all?

My skimmer finally arrived its all set. Tuned it on ar low speed and opened gate valve full. I guess i need run it like that for couple of weeks. Had to make a small stand to keep it at 8in deep

Decided to try this heater. According to reviews it says the most reliable. Have another 300w eheim as a pair to it for my 180gal. If i like it will get another one.
