LOL... Had me going for a minute! Too early for a Monday morning. FTR, I was starting to suspect a bad test kit... Not much of anything will survive...
Yes. Again, just keep it wet. You can put SW in a spray bottle and squirt it occasionally.
Not with the TDS meter. You'll need a phosphate test kit.
The important part is the nitrifying bacteria which will colonize the rocks in 2 - 3 weeks. Everything else is mostly aesthetic and only a mild...
