Default Porcelain Tiles in a tank?


"Harry Muscle" wrote in message

Anybody know if porcelain tiles (like the ones that go on the floor) are
safe in an aquarium. Sinks and such are made of porcelain, so the

porcelain
itself is fine, but the tiles are colored porcelain. Anyone know what

kind
of chemicals they use to color porcelain, and if this stuff would be

pretty
well encased inside the porcelain so none of it leaches out? I'm hoping

to
use these tiles for a background.

Thanks,
Harry



Totally inexperienced suggestion here, but could you secure the tiles
together with a piece of backing like fabric or thin wood and hang that on
the back of the tank on the outside? Maybe that doesn't give the desired
effect.

Just a thought.
