    Thank you Scott. I have my enclosure split into 2 with a piece of plexiglass. I have a filter in the water so I do weekly water changes of about 50%. I got the rocks from my neighbour, he was doing a big chiclid tank and had tons left over. I believe he got them from work, they never went into the fish water and even though he said he boiled them I did it again to be sure. Maybe im just stressing.

    the practice of using vinegar on rocks is from the aquarium world. it is a base test to check for alkalinity in rocks. some rocks, such such as limestone, would alter water chemistry, making it too alkaline (hard) in a closed environment. most animals prefer a more acidic (soft) water. a majority of plants prefer acidic environments as well. very few plants will survive in a hard water environment. as with anything, too much calcium can and will cause a calcium overdose in frogs. that is why we try to use only neutral rocks in our environments

    Thank you very much Bill/Deranged Chipmunk, not sure which one you prefer. MY oldest daughter gets a kick out of your user name. And I think tomorrow when the kids are at school I will rearrange my water area. I have a lot of different size rocks in there water so im going to take a lot out, I find my water gets kinda cloudy looking and am now thinking the calcium could be the problem. Would that make sense?
