    That's how i did it, make sure to rinse it out with R/O or tank water before use.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    I think drilling first would give a better break off. I took a hammer to a rock and ended up disintegrating it.

    I am sure you could get some from your LFS from what breaks off during shipment for cheap. There is no use breaking up a rock that costs $6/lb to make rubble you can probably buy for a lot cheaper
