Took a few pictures of the top of the rock. This is BRS "Reef Saver" rock for those curious. It's a month in the tank and it's starting to lose it's bleach white color. On top of that it's just littered with purple spots that I am convinced it corraline algae taking root.
If anyone is interested I started with 25 lbs of live rock from the LFS and ~60 lbs of BRS Reef Saver. For the first 3 weeks I left half the live rock in the main tank with the dead rock. The rest went in the sump.
I also bought 1 lb of live rock that was absolutely covered in corraline algae. before putting this piece in, I turned off the powerheads and scraped a few chunks of corraline into the main tank. I let it sit for about 20 minutes before turning the powerheads back on.
A week ago I moved the remaining live rock to the sump, so all that remains in the main tank is the BRS Reef Saver.
That's it, I'm just really excited to see the rock coming alive!
