Silly Question About Rocks

[emmettbaby]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I've never done "real" things in my tank (besides fish obviously) but I KNOW you have to boil/soak wood (Malaysian bog wood is what I was TOLD it was, but it's probably a sort of drift wood). I'm boiling it now but was just wondering if I need to boil the rocks I bought or can I just wash and the rocks and scrub them off?

I'll put picks up once I get my tank set up!

Don't ever boil rocks. They can have air pockets in them which might cause an explosion. Most rocks are fine. Perform the vinegar test on them (if it fizzes then don't use the rock, it would raise your mineral content and pH.) Scrub them with a brush and tap water.
