Black Slate

[Chomprawrmoo]

Anyone use black slate tiles from Home Depot/Lowes in their tank?

Just trying to find the bottom I want in the end. I've been eyeballing this one as the consumer reviews all state it is natural slate.

I assume the basic boiling, soaking, and etc to get it ready for a tank + cutting it down to fit in the tank w/o wall scraping. Just curious if anyone one else has done it.

(pics please if you have and testimonials!)

Looks fine to me, just avoid pieces with any red/orange/brown veins in them, these are iron deposits that could leach into the water and cause liver problems in the long run.
