Free tile. I'm wondering if it will leach anything. It looks pretty safe, but I don't know how stable marble is in water. Any input? I was thinking of doing the floor of my 125 with it.

Marble is 100% innert, meaning it is fully aquarium safe and will not leach anything...

Tiles such as this are likely polished. Most (if not all) current polishes for such applications are food safe, thus are equally awarium safe...

I would google the manufacturer's name for details, but chances are they are percfectly safe to use...

id be worried about any adhesives on the bottom or anything like that. otherwise i think you're good.

link says the author removed the listing?

Probably because I claimed the tiles.

Hello, I have a question that kinda relates to this post, I bought a crema polished marble tile. I haven’t put it in my fresh water tank yet I wanted to use it as a cave for my pleco but I’m worried if the polish will seep into the water and cause possible harm to them! Does anyone have any advice?
