Identify this rock.

[Fujisasuke]

Hi guys,

Need help identifying this rock, seems like it is from indonesia.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, actually i feel it looks abit like shit haha..

Anyways I am interested in finding out if it is inert or not..
Cause i'm planning on keeping it with sensitive shrimps

Looks like a sort of lava rock, interesting find.

I guess you could just put it in a small container of de-clorinated water, let it sit for 1-2 weeks, then test the water parameters and see if there are any changes in pH and GH.

Bought from Armageddon right? Have you tried asking him?

[Fujisasuke]

yup, now testing the rock. *fingers crossed*

It does look like erm...droppings of a cow.
There's a faster way to test. Drip some white vinegar on the rock and look out for fizzling and bubbling. If you need to, find a coral rock/chip and do it side by side so you can compare.
If it fizzles, its going to affect pH, KH and TDS.

Already tried the vinegar test, and it did not fizzle. Now doing the long winded test to be sure, do not want to have any issues since i am planning on putting it into my panda/wr shrimp tank.

Hi. How will the long winded test being done? I would like to test on mine too.

Soak in water for 2 weeks, monitor the ph/gh/tds readings.

Thank! let us know the result

I stopped testing it already, decided to just throw it into my tank

just came across this thread while searching for inspiration to improve my setup.

this stone is called bintang stones.

Looks like clay to me.. Or maybe it's cement haha
