    Starting Up With Tufa Rock

    Starting Up With Tufa Rock

    problem is the tank is setup now, all the tuffa nicely stacked up, so i dont want to disturb it, cant i do it the other way around? start with tufa, then add live rock which would eventually impregnate it? btw, do i buy it live ? or is it just ocean rock that would become live, it may sound...
