Pretty sure your going SPS but unlike glass softies will grow directly onto these things.

So nothing will leach out of the tiles then

From my understanding they won't leach. I'm putting my trust in Levi.

The other reason I went woth the tile is I'm sure sps will encrust on them. Giving me a little more room for frags.
Also I like the cleanliness of barebottom but not the look so I hope this is the best of both worlds

The directional bulk heads are to be pointed down to blow directly on the bottom keeping organics suspended.

It just cal carb from hot springs. Though its a softer stone it will not disolve in tank. So I've read. The whiter the stone the less impurities. I read several threads on reef tank of people using it without issue
