As I see it I’m starting to believe it is, especially if we talking about rock with the sole purpose of filtration, in reality what was the last time that anyone suggested for someone to add more live rock as a way to control nutrients? Or for that matter what was the last time that anyone increased the volume of rock into the scape that end up lowering nutrients. I can’t remember in all my time on here to see it accomplished. I have done all those experiments in the past and i know it’s not effective.
In todays times we use macro algae and carbon dosing to manipulate nutrients efficiently and the rock seems to me just a nice way to add some sort of a reef look and a place to add corals although personally I don’t see any advantage on having rock work regarding filtration. Can anyone?
would a system effectively crash if all liverock were to be removed from it? Or started without any liverock?
