Are landscape rocks safe for aquarium use?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
like Ian stated, the vinegar test works-i have used it and have had no deaths. I went to a local rock yard and just picked out what i wanted-i got 290 lbs of river boulders for 26 bucks.. i couldnt believe how cheap it was, and looks great in my african tank. Btw, if you go to lowes or home depot avoid any kinds of rocks that are preformed--those contain sealants and chemicals that will kill your fish.. and avoid any metallic looking rocks (though i have some pink granite in my tanks and granite is fine)..
post some pics of your tank when you get the rock in! cant wait to see it...
