rena Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi there, I have just bought a 300L tank and want to use a rock that I think is marble. If it fizzes but passes the ph test would it be ok to use as I really want a white feature rock in my tank. I have rams, zebra loaches and tetra's. Can you use coral rock in a freshwater tank? Where can I buy bamboo tubes from to make breeding areas for my fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Marble ought to be OK. Coral rock will alter the pH. Bamboo tubes - any garden centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 If it fizzes with vinegar I wouldn't use it. That means it probably contains a reactive form of limestone and it will continue to react with your tank water and increases the hardness and alkalinity over time. Then it depends on what fish you have if this is a problem, but most common fish prefer the water soft and slightly acid. If it is marble rock then it should be fine though.
