I've been noticing some strange live rock colors and textures. The tank is a 72 gallon that was [confession] a mostly unmaintained salt water fish only tank for 4 years using tap water and a canister filter. I kept salinity in check, other than that I didn't watch levels and water changes were far apart.
Converted to reef in December and I have been maintaining the levels since. Also made the Switch to RO/DI
I had HA problems a month after I started the conversion, lots of water changes, a Phosban reactor with RowaPhos and a lawnmower blenny cleared things up.
salinity 35 %,
KH 11 (salifert, PPI reads 9)
CA 420
PH 8
MG 1350
do the red patches look normal? what about the zebra print? I tried brushing it off and it seems like its on there pretty good.
I heard cyano brushes off, so hopefully this is something else!
thanks for the help!
