I have some new rocks, well stones really I guess. They're really neat and smooth and rounded so I thought they would look really nice in one of my aquariums. How do I tell if they're aquarium safe though? I don't want to throw off the PH.
Also, how do I clean them? They have moss and dirt all over them.
Safe rocks?

Re: Safe rocks?
Try pouring vinegar on them, if they fizz then they're not safe. If they don't fizz they're fine.
As for cleaning I would first give them a good scrub with a toothbrush and maybe vinegar. That ought to get rid of most of the dirt. Then rinse well.
Soaking in a bucket of water will 'soften up' any particularly muddy portions of the rocks, making them easier to scrub.
