What ammonia test kit are you using? I remember that the first kit I used, I believe it was a red sea test kit which a bunch of tests in it, would never read below .5. It was a false reading.

Also, the Tufa rock...

I don't know much about it but I found this:

TUFFA ROCK

Tuffa rock is a white dense but yet soft rock that can be sculpted with a little care into various shapes. It is not really suitable for the freshwater aquarium. It can be used in a marine set up but not in great quantities as it will over time slowly start to dissolve.
The best and most popular use for this rock is for the ancient art of cultivating Japanese Bonsai.

I don't know what it's made out of but that could be the reason for some of your readings.
