Default base rock

if you want limestone as a foundation go to a landscaping place-also for lace rock or lava rock

Have you tried speaking with Jeff about this issue ?

If that doesn't work out, honestly, you're better off using live rock

I regret using base in my build, as do many others

I think you'll find far more people regretting the pests that came with their live rock...

OK, so you think more people have problems related to using base rock (maybe a nutrient release if not properly prepared, take a long time to become "live") than problems related to using live rock (cost, die-off, aiptasia, majano, dinoflagellates, bryopsis, predatory hitchhikers, many other rarer/deadlier/more difficult to eradicate pests, and not to mention the destruction of live habitat in the ocean)?

OK then
