Thanks guys I already have a tank with coral rock in it & the demasoni's are happy breading. My tap water ph is around 7 & the rock raises it & holds it around 8. I have steam cleaned some limestone & have it soaking in a bucket so i can test the water after awhile, will def try the vinigar test thanks. Im just wanting a bigger tank & didnt want to spend huge money on getting more coral rock. I would like to go 1800w x 600h x 600d with a sump 600w x 450h x 550d (funds permiting!) will prob put the coral rock i have in the sump & just use the limestone to aquascape (if it has no contaminates on it). Anyone know of someone who can build tanks like that, or someone selling one?

Hi guys. Im thinking of setting another tank up & just want to know if limestone rocks will keep the ph @ the right level for malawi cichlids? How/is there a test to do to see if the rocks are safe to use in an aquarium? Thanks
