Ok so things are starting a bit backwards here in Okinawa. Ive ordered a nice tank, but it seems to have dropped off the radar for tracking... this used to happen in Germany all the time with big packages so its probably on a slow boat to nowhere. Anyhow, I came across a deal thats difficult...

Now that I'm living in Okinawa I have found out coral skeletons was up constantly. Going to one beach I can get hundreds of pounds. Would these larger chunks work as base rock, as in be porous enough? They appear to be, but wondering if anyone has used it before, or has knowledge about them...
