7 hours. Overall, hair algae is almost gone, rock is looking cleaner, and it may turn out ok. Gonna chemiclean it one of these days to clear up the cyano. Adding back my Tunze 6095s and adding a larger return pump this weekend. Need more turn over through sump and better flow on the rock.

I wouldn't do "new to me" rock. Get over to J&L and buy a box.

And that 7 hours is 2 x 400watts ?

Sorry, I forget

It's $300, think of the grief you'd save. I have never, in all my years, ever had problems using fresh live rock. The bit of money saved going dry or dead just isn't worth it. That's my take anyway.

Also, I can't help but notice I'm missing a large anthias. Pretty sure that's not helping
