I would soak that baserock in vinegar and water and then cook it for a while(4-8 weeks), while seeding it with live rock... I couldn't believe the amount of po4 that mine leached. Of course it masked itself for the first few years with just prolonged algae stages typical of new tanks and then exploded...
