Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 11:03 pm can bricks be used in the tank?
Hey guys! I found some bricks outside my house and told my tank guy I thought they'd be great foundations for building my basking area. Before I had some natural rocks and because they were each shaped differently, it'd always be hard to stack them right, and get themto be secure and solid for the turts to crawl up on (I did my best though, and it worked for awhile). I asked him if the bricks would be harmful in any way - obviously I'd clean them in a clorox-water solution first, then more hot water, and more hot water, but do you have any thoughts as to the benefits/harms of using bricks? A few of the bricks are regular bricks, and a couple have that hard coating that's used for probably outdoor landscape bricks. The reason I thought bricks is because they seem like great (and even) platforms to build an "even" basking area from. Get my point? Please help, and thanks as always! Val
