Beach rock

Post by Shrimpy97 »

I was beach combing at the coast and am wondering if I can use these rocks? Also can I put drift wood?

Wood is not a good idea for supershrimp (it breaks down, lowers ph, etc.), not sure about the rocks.

I used similar rocks, but small ones and only 3-4. Just washed them with sea water and shrimp are doing fine...
They look similar, not sure if they are the same rocks. Also found them on the beach :)

Rocks yes, driftwood no. Mustafa says a good soak followed by a plain water rinse is all you need to do for rocks.

Unless the rocks will lower your pH I guess... :)
