| boiling rocks can be dangerous as if there are air pockets in the rock it could explode. kind of like poporn lol. i do not think this will happen in 20 secs tho lol. | |

| Those are just fine for your hard water cichlids. Just hose them off good let them dry in the sun for a day and you are good. |
