help real quick

Keep in mind that rocks are porous. I would be extrememly careful of washing them in bleach and themn rinsing them off. If you have the "wrong rock" you could have bleach residue leech into the tank.
 
I agree....I usually just boil them in salty water for a few min., then scrub them down with baking soda and a toothbrush. I too, refuse to buy a rock...lol...rediculous..I usually collect them myself.
 
wow...thanks for the support...the last four of you

and you are right, our state is covered with rock and fertile farmland, that is all it is...

I just picked McDonald's because it is on campus and I noticed it while eating there one day

I"m going to see what I can get at a gravel product store today (for slate) and if they have some rock sitting around, I'll ask if I can just have it

alright, I'll see if I can get soemthing that will allow for me to boil them for a long time, and then I"ll keep you updated
