Aquarium safe rocks. A basic break down on how to figure out which rocks are safe for your aquarium.

A lot of times, aquarium hobbyists like to find their own rocks, yet a common question they will ask is: Which rocks are safe for my aquarium.
This is my way of figuring out what you can and probably shouldn't use, by using a process of elimination by way of simple testing.

    on a geology class field trip i found a 10 kg(22 lb) rock that i loved so i carried it 5KM just to put it in my tank
  • As a geologist I applaud your explanation of the rocks. Very accurate
  • @Lady_Jay42
    Would love to see a wood collecting tutorial! :)
  • When would u do a wood collecting tutorial man? it has been 3 years man ,we r still waiting!
  • Lol! I'm learning about rocks in school, and used all these methods to find what kind of rock it was! Really cool, and I will probably get some (aquarium safe) rocks for my tank. Thanks man.

    Thanks, this video was very informative! I just recently started keeping and added new river rock to my aquarium. Couldn't have done it properly without seeing this first. Great content bud 👍 I've yet to be discouraged or let down by your vlogs.
  • @leannvlewis
    Yes please do a video on safe aquarium woods.
  • @krislee7495
    Perfect timing Joey. It was only last night that i was looking through your videos to find one on rocks. Im collecting rocks at the moment from my local river in England. Thanks for the great advice
  • @rperez309
    Thanks for the help! as someone who’s is starting their first planted aquarium your video has helped me get much needed info. A wood vid would also be helpful.
  • @wisconative8647
    Wow! What wealth of information you provide us with all your videos! I stumbled upon you on accident searching for videos on bichers, and BOOM! I'm hooked! Thank you for all the video's!!!
  • @GavinsAquariums
    Awesome vid as always Joey! I just got back from Kananaskis (Alberta) where I collected some really sweet rocks! And yeah you should totally do a wood video as well.
  • @silverline6399
    Interesting and informative. A video on the correct type of wood is a plus. Thanks for sharing.
  • @archerhill64
    Great video! Great advice on bringing a frame that is your tank size, lay it on the ground and "play", before you head home.
  • @Zante_on_google
    Yes, a video about how to choose and prepare wood would definitely be interesting, more than the rocks video. (Not that this wasn't)
  • Great video Joey! Another on aquarium safe wood would be great, especially where to look for it
  • @warman
    Awesome as always! YES, WOOD PLEASE!!!
  • @collegered
    Great video! I could really use a video on selecting and preparing wood. I've been having trouble finding reliable info on what is and isn't safe.
  • @DaSlice
    You should absolutely do a video similar to this for selecting wood for your aquarium! Great video!
  • @skylinevspec000
    Great vid as always. Could you do one on driftwood as well?
  • This video is really valuable. Patently waiting for your take on drift wood.
