Ira Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah, slate should be fine. You don't get much more unreactive than most slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah as others said. Alpine schist is good to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarium Dude Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Where can I get it from? (in chch) Should it have white in it? (doesnt that mean lime which will alter the ph??????) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Try landscapers. And according to the landscape suppliers here the Alpine Schist doesn't have traces of lime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Halswall quary stone would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eileencarr Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 The white lines in schist are not lime, they are quartz. This will not alter the pH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
