Lava rock in reef tank?


Beefcake

Recommended Posts

Found some lava rock while digging through some stuff I had laying around when getting ready to set up my 180. Would it be safe to use? I've seen somewhat mixed answers online.

I'd be cautious using it. If it's synthetic lava rock (made for commercial purposes), it may have additives that may leach and be toxic to your tank. However, a lot of natural lava rock is safe. However, you may have difficulty keeping it submerged because of trapped air in the rock.
