My rocks which have been added 4 days ago is getting a yellowish coloring, some parts brown. Is this normal? Tank is about 5 days old now. I did a water change of 1 gallon with distilled water. Tank is 10 gallons. Only live sand and live rock.
 
Yeah readings with API reef master test kit also addition ammonia since it didnt come with one.

Ammonia 0 PPM
nitrates .5 ppm
phospate 0 ppm
 
did you test for nitrites? i would think they would be rather high. at any rate, be strong! it will pass!~ but i do think you should continue the water changes. 1 gallon a week should be fine. i've never heard about not doing water changes. if this the thing to do now please say so.
