1.) I have a bunch of LR sitting in a tub with 2 powerheads and a heater. Haven't touched it for several months (I think almost 7). Only things I did were top off with fresh RO water and I think I put mysis in once or twice just to feed the bacteria a little bit. Did a water param check. No nitrites or ammonia. VERY high nitrates though..I think around 160 mg/L. Might be a dumb question but can I just do a near 100% water change since its just LR? I plan to slowly add this rock back into my display but I dont even wanna start until water params in the tub are in check.
2.) I've made a pvc fixture that sits on top of my tank to hold my LED fixture. Not the prettiest thing but it's functional atleast lol. No pvc is touching the water at all. Is this a safe method to spray paint it black? Do I need to worry about evaporation interacting with the spray paint or anything?

3.) Everytime I aquascape, its been without light because I haven't had lights that can illuminate the tank while I have my hands in there. My dream is to someday be able to aquascape and actually see what I'm doing. I've been trying to figure out how I can make my current LED fixture height adjustable without changing the pvc structure. Is there any type of retractable hooks or something that I can use to attatch my led to the pvc. Right now, its just hanging around the pvc pipe from the hanging kit it came with.
