That’s the near end of the cycle.. are you dosing ammonia or anything? I don’t see any fish..My wife was really upset that it went from pristine to brown. So at least I know it’s ok.
Any idea when this happens in the cycle.
Should I get my water tested . Next purchase if a test kit
In reef terms white is not pristine. You started with a sterile operating room while the goal is grandma's couch.My wife was really upset that it went from pristine to brown. So at least I know it’s ok.

Them rocks will be a dark maroon, blackish color over time.. or covered in corraline what ever color you get “pink, maroon etc” nothing in the tank will stay white except a sand bed over time..That’s the near end of the cycle.. are you dosing ammonia or anything? I don’t see any fish..
That’s not big enough to really seed a system.. how long has the tank been up?A friend gave me this live rock. I don’t know how live it is though
No fish. Just threw in some prawn for ammoniaThat’s the near end of the cycle.. are you dosing ammonia or anything? I don’t see any fish..

Test parameters. Might as well get accustomed to it as you'll be doing it for the life of the tank. In your case we need a nitrate, phosphate, ammonia and maybe a nitrite reading14 days
You’d be okay to start with some heartier fish like damsels or clowns.. it will help seed the tank better.. I’d also look into getting a bigger chunk or live rock for more biodiversity.14 days
Yes I know. The next purchase I make is a test kit. I live in South Africa so with a 50% import tax they are expensive. But definitely my next purchase any test kit recommendationsTest parameters.
