One of the easiest ways to know the extent limestone, if you do not know the characteristics of the rock, (because maybe taken near to river) is to put a drop of muriatic acid or simple limescale (Viakal) and observe the reaction: if form of bubbles or a "frying" means that the rock is limestone and increase the hardness of your water. This thing could also be desired by the presence of fish such as goldfish or cichlids that usually inhabit areas with high hardness. Before inserting any type of stone, sterilize them by washing under running water with brushes and boiling them for a few minutes. If you want to counter the hardness caused by carbonate, use a "allophone" fund. Rocks analyzed in the video: LAVA ROCKS: not affect the values ​​of the water, very suitable for the infiltration of nitrifying bacteria., very light, and useful for the foothold of any plants such as Anubias or mosses.

DRAGON STONE: Stone ADA does not affect the values ​​of water,very elaborate, light brown with shades of red or green, very fashion and design at this time, attention, clean very well before listing because is full of earth and mud. SEIRYU ​​STONE: as the Stone Mountain, Stone ADA are influencing the values ​​slightly increasing the hardness of the water, very elegant and suitable for the so-called fittings Iwagumi gray reminiscent mountains. Very used by Takashi Amano. BRICKS, JARS, FAIENCE: not affect the values ​​of the water, suitable for environments of possible reality in the beds of rivers, help the growth of beneficial bacteria in the cycle of nitrogen.
