Hi Friends,

I got this Dead Dried Coral from a Local Petstore. It looks something like this - http://www.sealifegifts.net/user_images/BIRDSNESTCORAL.jpg (not exactly but something similar)

Just wanted to know if I can Crush and break this in to small pieces and add to my Fronts's Tank to increase the PH and Hardnes (and also for decorative purpose) ?

Is it safe to use a dead coral and break it in to pieces ? I mean do I have to boil it in water or add some chemical etc to make it safe and effective or can I just use the pieces ?

Kindly advice and guide me, Friends...
Thanks a lot !
Regards
Kush
 
Friends, I have also bought a type of gravel which is mostly broken sea shells, etc - I'm not sure of the quality as it was a small petshop...Can I just sprinkle this a little also ? Do I need to treat this gravel (boil or something) to make it safe and efefctive ?

Hi there !

The problem is that I cant find broken ones anywhere here. I got this whole piece with great difficulty and a lot of search... I could use the whole thing as it is (without breaking it) but I'm afraid that my fronts could hurt themselves aganist the sharp edges...

So can I use this ? Will it buffer and harden the water for my fronts ? Or is it better to buy something branded like this - http://www.petinindia.com/claroshell.html
