    Quick question....Will the DIY rock stay the dark gray after curing? Or will it turn a lighter color? Also, you guys mentioned testing the water its curing in...Since its curing in tap water, do I use a FW PH test? Or a SW test since its going in a SW tank?

    It will lighten up some. I think I just used salt water pH, but I'm not sure I was correct in doing so, it's just what I had. It's not rocket science so I don't think it matters TOO much, you just want to get the pH down to a lower level, and make sure it's not climbing as it cures.
