is shale ok for my tank ? I have a bunch of it from a old wall I could break into smaller pieces(brittle stuff) and use in my tank but im nervous about putting it in my tank given its ben outside for years who knows what on it LOL how would i clean it to make safe for tank? given its composition of layers im nervous something will stay between layers?
 
I have had shale in a tank before, and I got it out of a quary so who knows what was in it. I boiled it to kill off anything and rinsed it off real well and that was it. It did not effect the fish at all.
