Questions
Is this safe for Turtles and Gars?
- I would assume so, since it tends to raise the Ph of the water. Don't know for sure, but it did keep my gar happy for years until he jumped in a hail storm. I have a 75gal. tank with an overgrown koi in it and it keeps the Ph under control enough so I only need to do a 50% water change once a week. For me, that's huge, but so is my koi.

Do you have to wash it first? No directions on package plz help
- It doesn't really matter. You WILL need to rinse filter media and HOB/Canister Filter afterwards. No need to replace filter media.

is this ok to use with live plants
Does it matter if it's African or South American Cichlids?
- No, it does not matter.

Are these okay for Betta fish?
- Slate is a pretty much inert rock and as such should be safe for a Betta. Seeing as these are tumbled there are also no sharp edges for a fish to injure themselves on.
