Speaking of service, how often should ballast rocks be brought in for
maintanence? I have noticed some rocks looking pretty beat-up after only a
century or two in the water. Can you suggest anything to reduce this
problem? I know an occasional roll will eliminate the moss, but this can be
hard to do with the rocks installed. Do you have any other suggestions?
