How do you tell when live rock has fully matured?

Hi all.

I can see the rocks in my tank changing bit by bit every day, but at what point are they considered 'live'? what does a fully mature FOWLR tank look like?

Thanks,

From what I've been told, you either have to vaccum religiously, or not at all. I am nervous to do not at all. :surprise: I have a predator tank, so quite a load.

Yes, there are some good deals at 50% off, but the food is not included in that (which is still overpriced). But, they had some aquarium heaters at 75% off, if you interested. :wink:

Is there any concern over switching between different types of aquarium salt? I have only had this tank a month, and I have been using Instant Ocean. But, Petcetra had RedSea on 50% off,...

Oh, the algae needs light! I took the light that was over the sump out when I put the protein skimmer in, and didn't think about the algae. There is no light there now, though it does get some...

I have a Picasso Trigger, a white tailed trigger, a lion fish, a valentini puffer, a stars and stripes puffer and a wolf eel. All of a substantial size. No coral, just the rocks.

How would you tell if a stars and stripes puffer was sick?

Kiwi, our stars and stripes puffer, has periods of time where his colour turns pale, mottled and rather ghastly looking. It looks really unhealthy, but the prev owner said that he does look quite...

Does a protein skimmer use up more water?

Well, the collection cup is full of water, so I guess that means I'm overflowing it, not missing it? I'll try and get a picture in the morning.
