Beach Rocks alright for SW Tank???

deboM3 · 10/29/2006, 11:04 PM

Hey,

Im in the process of setting up a Salt Water Tank for a Mantis Shrimp. I just got a 30 gal Tank and am going to go buy some Live Rock and Sand and fill the tnak with water tomorrow.

I was at the beach, and found alot of nice looking rocks. Would these be ok to put into the tank, or could there be anthing that would harm the Mantis Shrimp?

Thanks

Kyle

i wouldnt use them. the beaches have all kind of crap on and in it

even if you cant see the results on the rocks, it could still be there and leak out harmful effects on your tank
