That test isnt 100% sure for everything but will suffice for rock. If it bubbles, it will break down in the tank. real slate is pretty much safe though.

Mlani said:I also have slate in my tanks. I've had no issues with it. Just make sure to "dull" the sharp edges. I usually just use another piece of slate that's not going in the tank and rub the edges off with that.
