River Rocks For My Tank

Yes, you can do that. Nice scrub and boil or bake them. If they come from fresh water they will likely make the transition to your tank safely...I usually just pour vinegar one the rocks. If they fizz do not put them in your tank. If they do nothing add them...Has worked for me for many years...Post pics when you get them just to play it safe if you like 
DONT BAKE!
Sure, the first 1000 rocks you bake might not explode. This site has 30,000 members.
google "river rocks explode"
I can imagine some ugly scenarios if you have a gas oven.

Limestone blows up and hurts like hell! It's fun to throw it in a fire though... Home Depot (if you have them) has huge bags of river rock for super cheap. You can look there, that's where I got all of mine.
or go to a local rockyard (search your phonebook and internet). i bought 200 lbs of riverrock and boulder for 26 bucks.
and i agree--dont ever bake a rock! powerwashing and/or a very mild bleach solution soaking will do.

At what temp does baking a rock become dangerous? At what temp do bacteria die off and the like? lol Yeah do not put a rock in the oven at 500 degrees or higher. Bake it low and it will have the same effect on the internal temp as boiling....Put it less than 200 and you will be fine.....Do not use limestone.....

Where abouts in Australia are you? Due to all these recent floods, river rocks should be within arms reach of you.
