While at work the other day i noticed some smooth gravel called plumbers rock (quater minus is the stock name) and was thinking of using it in my tank. the only question i had was how can i clean this rock and make it safe for my fish tank. im quite sure all it would need is a good rinse but wanted to check before i use it. i also have some river stones wich have been sitting in the garden for years. can i wash these and then put them in or should i boil them for a couple of minutes first?
 
I don't think I would use these items in the fish tank. I have never heard of the plumbers rock so I cannot say much about that. As far as the stones from the garden, I would be afraid to use them for fear that they may still have some kind of chemical on them that was used in the garden or has leached from the soil in the garden.
