Can i put shells i collected from a beach into my aquarium? - collecting from the beach to put in aquarium
I have shells on the beach who was visiting, and thought it would be ontop of a large disk bubble. If I should be cleaned with warm water, it would be OK to add the tank? In the oil-i:

Place shells on the beach in a freshwater aquarium.
I've heard of people bleaching deposits with a solution of Clorox added and cook them in clean water to about 10 times, to Clorox, but then there is the possibility that not everything can get fish and goodbye. For me it's not worth it. They make beautiful shells in water tanks to be false. There are many places to buy them. They also sell real shells, the panicles of professionals who know exactly how.
Good luck.
yup. First, although certainly cook
Golden Rule No.: everything that came out of the sea, no matter how clean can never be placed in a freshwater aquarium.
If you are not toxic to the reservoir by raising the pH and alkalinity to the tank.
not spoil the water produced in an environment of salt and freshwater
I am not saying otherwise. I will absolutely not bleached shells in the tank. In fact, the shells from the beach are good for your tank to help quickly and ammonia levels down and also a tank cycle. You do not want the deposits has gathered in a tent (for example, in a small store in Florida on vacation). They are bleached, and God knows what else in them to make it look nice and shiny.
Shells My husband and I were very few (by the beach) in our tank when we had problems in cycling, is (55 gallons with plenty of fish, took a few months! LOL). The shells seemed to really help.
Easy to wash, but you do not use bleach and it should go.
You know, I did it once about two years ago. I boil the bark in hot water then rinse in cold water with a small amount of bleach, let it cool down to, then boiled and rinsed in water without chlorine.
The bottom line is that even after all this, and ensure that no chlorine or salt could be seen in the tank, half of the tank, died within 48 hours. The pet store, I changed the water and deposits were discovered in the sea salt is a part of the deposit and is usually a bad idea.
I hope that helps.

It is a question of microbes, there would be no real possibility of harmful germs in the shells. "No, I use it, because even though they can and will change the pH value and hardness of your tank. That will lead to problems of each tie to clean the tank and change water. It is much better let them outside, where it does not harm the fish.

This is an excellent idea. I hope it does not bother me if I borrow for my aquarium. You have to cook for about 5 minutes, then completely before cool your aquarium. :)
cook, just to be on the safe side, you do not want any germs [
Yes, but wash
