I would say go with the plastic if anything! Just remember the rubble doesn't have to be live to glue frags to it... ceramic and golf tees sure as heck aren't live
I would too but I don't have any old dead rock. I can't even start to imagine taking rock from my display tank and doing this with it. Maybe I'll go to the LFS and see if I can explain what I'm doing and see if he'll cut me a deal on some rubble. He doesn't sell "Base/Dead" rock at all.

If not I'll go to the local big blue (Lowes) and pick up some ceramic tile sheets and see how that works. That's unless we can come up with a reason to NOT use those (chemicals etc etc). In that case it's black plastic golf tees.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!
Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
