Re: how can i make base rock? pleased help

From what I have personally witnessed DIY rock is far from adequate to use as biological filtration.... It lacks the porosity. I have also notice that many things such as Coraline algae has a difficult time growing on such rock..... Of course there maybe some debate on this but I believe it is not worth the time....
