New photos - live rock added

Hi everyone.

I have now mixed salt (Reef Crystals) and added 150kg of live rock and 40lbs of live sand (on top of playsand 4-5" DSB). 2 boxes of liverock went "bad" when being stored in buckets, but with Robs advice I have scrubbed and put in display tank to kick start cycle. After changing the water in te buckets, the smell did go, but the sulphur seems to have killed off parts of the affected live rock!

I have a Tunze Comline in the sump (rubbish quality I think, badly made and flimsy - any views?) and my own Ratz skimmer (beauty). I have doubled up on skimming incase it helps with clearing sand scum and other nasties for the first week or two. By the way, I cant seem to make the Tunze work..

Here are the photos as of today....
