kingmatherz Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hi, if I pick up some rocks at a freshwater lake, what do I need to do to them before I put them in my tank? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 depends what type of stuff you collect. Round river stones just put outside in sun for several days. The heat of sun and direct sunlight will kill algae and hitchikers. For woods and more porus objects I would boil to kill any critters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
