    What color background to do

    I'm not allowed to vote, but I say black, it looks classy and blocks out the most stray light. Besides, blue will give it the LFS look.

    What's wrong with my live rock?

    Adding new rock will shock your system and set the cycling back. That's assuming the rock isn't fully cured without chance of die-off anyway.

    My 20G with new 70W HQI, hopefully it's enough for the critters. It's much brighter than my old 65W CF anyway.
