Base rock or reef bones.

I have a backyard full of natural coral rock, but using "found" pieces in my
tank is not an option as I do not know their history as far as
chemical/pesticide/fertilizer etc.

Doesn't boiling the rock remove the nasty stuff?

put it in any container like a plastic dust bin fill with salt water and a
power head leave to cycle and then test it. sound like cheap base rock but
dont put it in a loaded reef tank until you have tested some water its been
in for a couple of weeks.

Not a chance I would even try.
The use of copper sulfate to control fungal landscape plant problems is so
widespread that only a fool would do it.
