Is it ok to use either of these in your tanks? Found the moss rock for .15 cents a lb. Flag stone for .25 cents a lb. at Enchanted Forest. Not sure if that's the going rate but, seem's reasonable.

I hope this was not the dumbest question of the day. 22 views and not a single reply. Makes you wonder.Lori's husband Bill. -
Flagstone should be fine. Moss rock I'm dubious about. Since the moss won't live immersed, it will eventually die, decay and possibly become an ammonia issue later.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Makes since on the moss rock. They also had some really large smooth boulders. Anywhere for 2 to 20lbs. What ever you can fill in a 5 gallon bucket is only $5. Just trying to get some ideas. Thank's.Lori's husband Bill.Comment

I've got some rainbow flagstone that I would part with. It's cool but a little more expensive than regular. I bought it at NEPCO for like $1/lb. 3 pieces weighed like 25lbsChef~PIER 61 SEAFOOD

I use moss rock in most of my tanks. easy to build caves with with few sharp edges.
What I am about to tell may casue some discussion....But, I always have bolied my moss rock prior to putting into tank becasue of the concerns raised above. If you put rock in large pot with regular tap water then bring it to a boil you should be safe. Any live moss dies and can easily be removed. There has been some stories of people dumping in cold rocks into boiling water causing thermal shock to rocks resulting in injuries to people?
Cool down? I just turn the burner off and let if sit until it cools off so I can pour the water down the drain without risk of burns. Strip off and dead moss and U r good to go. Yes, this is a long process, but has proved to be safe for me.
