My current set-up does not use any LR. Instead I use the base rock from Reefer rocks, which when I first got it looked very much like LR, except it was plain white. THis is the fossilized coral that is mined throughout much of Florida. It is usually bright white, and sometimes a very light tan color.
Over the past few years my base rock has turned darker, with many shades of browns mostly. It does ot look bad, just that it looks very monotone, with just various shades of browns and dark reds.
In my next set-up I will be using LR. I love the colors of people's LR based systems. I commonly see LR that has both lighter colors and white areas, along with darker areas that with the "aged" look, and of course there are spots of green and purple as they are covered with algae.
My question is, does your LR ever just eventually brown up evenly all over the rock, like my dead rock has ? I have never used LR, so I am curious if all the different colors on the LR that I commmonly see remain after several years of use, or if the rocks just eventually become monotone, as my dead rocks have.
