Aquarium Re-design

[adam98150]

So, i want to re-design my aquarium. I am thinking some kind of natural rock, or maybe uncut slate? I'm not sure what type of rock's are safe for aquaria so i've come to ask.

I'm not even sure if slate is 'ok'? Sand stone? Any other stone?

If i can't find any natural rock i'm willing to settle for branches...

Thank you, Adam.

i want to try something different like this

bored of gravel and one plant, and a crappy ornament

i want sand, a few rocks and maybe a nicer looking ornament

Do the vinegar test!..... if your not sure if the rock is ok, pour a little vinegar on the rock, if it fizz's DONT USE IT!, if theres no fizz its OK!.

Slate is fine though, alot of people use this.

Thanks for your reply!

So, does this work with all rocks? If they don't react to acid's they are safe for aquariums?

Hawkins, i also wanted to try something a little different just to see the results. It would also provide my fish with alot more shelter, and because of this they would feel more secure.
