true, it's a risk you (we) all take. minimize the risks to a level you're comfortable with, have a backup plan and carry on.
maybe put some distilled water in a spare tank. take readings as a control, add a small rock and see what changes (if anything) over time.
to my mind, rocks in a stream or anywhere where the water is constantly refreshed, could well be harmless where they are and also toxic in a tank. maybe much less so than those just 'lying around' but the chance is there.
