I have several big peices of slate left from a patio project how do i prep them to go into a fresh water tank?
 
Nice bulldogs :D

Not real sure on the slate, if its just like any other rock going in an aquarium, i'd say hose it down and maybe brush it some to make sure its clean. Then let dry in the sun for a few hours?

Thats what I'd do anyway...
 
thats what i thought just wantes to make sure thanks
 
ya there english
 
As said, scrub and rinse thoroughly. You can use a mild bleach solution if you like, just rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry afterwards. Avoid soap or detergent; there will always be some residue left which can harm your fish.
