Re: Help me identify this rock
No one knows what rock is this? I paid a lot of money for this and want to ensure that I have not been fooled. Anyone?

Re: Help me identify this rock
This is very common rock comes from western part of India and dumped near ghtorni area for local gardening and landscaping work.
I would suggest if your tank is high-tech and not an experimental one don't use this rock.
If still u want to use it wash it like Buffalo wash. Otherwise after a month it will spoil your whole tank.
Wish you would have asked somebody before you invest so much.

These rocks are a type of limestone rocks and raise pH.

Re: Help me identify this rock
, one of my friend used it in his planted tank but removed it, as it was changing the water chemistry and was dissolving slowly.SCORPIO wrote:These rocks are a type of limestone rocks and raise pH.

I still doubt about lime character, but yes some of them dissolvedissolve that's why during wading you will get to know.

Re: Help me identify this rock
It doesn't look like limestone and doesn't feel like it's going to dissolve.
I did clean it up and all that was removed was some mud that was stuck in those holes.
I need to rescape and need to ensure that I make the right start. Do you strongly recommend that I shouldn't use this rock? I really don't have a way to measure changes in the water chemistry.

Yes don't use it. For rocks you have to know invest 400_450/kg.vasishta.sushant wrote:It doesn't look like limestone and doesn't feel like it's going to dissolve.
