I'm trying to get some rocks for my new aquarium and I know you are supposed to test them to see if they bubble with some acid. I have plenty of vinegar but I wasn't sure how much testing is enough.
I've heard everything from just put a couple drops on to soak the entire rock.
My question is, if I soak the entire rock and only a very small part fizzes is that ok? Or does the rock have to be completely bubble free?
I have fairly big rocks, I would need gallons of vinegar to dunk them. Does it still work if I dilute it down with tap water?
