Aquarium Advice Newbie
I live on the ocean and have collected beautiful ocean rock for quite some time. Had thought about using some in my fresh water tank. Pet store said boil rocks and they should probably be o.k. He uses them all the time. Then I read somewhere else where salt could be an issue--- and bacteria-- and a number of other issues. Read somewhere where it said to pour vinegar over them and if they fizz, don't use them.
I took a dozen or so rocks that I boiled and cooled, then immersed them totally in vinegar.... short while later, little bubbles forming. Pet store owner said his quite often bubble when he puts them in the tank...
I would so like to use them, anything else I can do to ensure they might be safe to use?
