My favorite type of rock is lace rock. It works really well for stacking and looks neat.

Big chunks of slate look similar to that, my family owns a slate quarry turned water park.

O ok. There is a quarry 10 from my name in wales. It has closed now. I will have to go and have a look one day. Do u have to leave them in hot water or something before using the rock?

I would do a vinegar soak in a 1 part vinegar to 10 part water ratio. Only certain rocks are appropriate for aquariums, make sure to check. Once done, rinse or soak well in clean water

Ok. After Soaking and everything will it change my ph and so on?

If you get something like limestone. Go with slate or something very inert. Where's the quarry? If it's in PA, it's most likely slate near the Mason-Dixon Line

Are these ok to use? Liquid carbone and fertiliser?

Sand for dwarf hair grass for sure. Although it requires high light and co2.

 

[Rhodricartref]

For co2 can i use liquid carbone (like this one on the right)? ?
