slate rock tile

by 1972cb500

Im starting to get worried I just started my 55 and added some slate rock tile for decoration and I washed it off real good with hot water, but when I added it to my tank and started adding water a film came to the top I was able to scoop it off. I don't have fish in the tank yet I am just curious if I am gonna be okay

I usually boil rock before adding it to my tank, although i think a good wash with hot water is probably sufficient. Better safe than sorry.
