Found some rocks, can I use them?

yeah, tmy420, you should be fine. honestly, if the rocks don't come out of water, like a river or lake, scrubbing them really well with an old toothbrush and baking soda in a container under running tap water is all i do.

but to be clear, boiling is always good. planeria are one of the organisms that can hitch in from moist earth.

its tough to ask questions in a middle of an active thread. people scroll and miss a short post all together. i know i do it all the time. stupid college. makes you work too fast. :dog:
 
I live in Connecticut.. I found a lot of nice rocks around in the woods and by brooks.. I got the 2 big glassy ones in there now thats it, plus 3 flat rainbow slate things I got at a petstore, making caves... There not sharp at all, they are almost pretty smooth. I will take pics when i get my digital cam.
 
Sorry Roan, I meant in terms of losing mineral content over time. Leeching into the water and the like, not reactivity. Urk.. sorry to be confusing..I should have been clearer.
