Hey i just got back from the beach and brought home some sand and sea shells. Is it safe to put in my fish tank???? I have a Beta.
 
no , im no expert but dont think thats safe.
 
Yes It's safe, Just........

Yes it's safe just the shells, sterilize them, boil in a pot for 15 minutes make sure you use aqua-sol for prevention of deseases I've been using it for years.

carefully apply to water.

While i'm waiting for replys i've went ahead and started soaking the sand and rensing it. So i think i've about got everything out of it that shouldnt be there. Im just a little paranoid to put it in beause i've never tried it before.
 
I think I might boil beach sand to kill who knows what is in it...
