Anyone see anything wrong with these rocks? I believe they look like Sandstone.

For Malawi Setup.

I took some pictures of them in the garden centre, there is a lot of residual debris as these are obviously at the bottom:

Thanks

Cheers.

Nope, that's not it dude. Almost sure it's sandstone.

They had some of that though, here is a pic I took of it:

i am not sure i thought it looked like the quarry rock heres a couple photos of sand stone, but at any rate any rock looks great in a malawi setup you just have to be creative aye, hehehe, as for the answer above sorry i didnt do it earlier my wife had a blowout on the freeway and i had to go to the rescue at a whims notice but that stone above as long as you clean it real well it should be fine and if your not in a hurry i would let it soak in total submersion for a week or two.. heres the sandstone photo's..

The thing is with sandstone; is that there are so many different types, formed in so many different ways, giving it a lot of different textures and colours depending on where it was created.

I've gone back and the excess sediment on it is sand, I'm 99% sure it is sandstone.

Not in a hurry at all, I can leave it soaking for ages!

lol, no...Kop refers to the stadium of my team:

Istanbul refers to when we were crowned Champions of Europe for the 5th time in 2005:

I travelled all the way to Turkey and back via Bulgaria and Malta in just under 48 hours. It was amazing.

Thanks for the help....you too Inka4040 :silly:
