Default Porcelain Tiles in a tank?

A way to test them is to put some lemon drops on the surface of the tile...
Also, u can find different kind of tiles, porcelain is a high temperature
clay, and then should be a lot more resistant to anything.

neither the glaze nor the tile may be safe. there's a lot of glazes that

what is in them from the manufacturer, and they probably don't know since
tiles typically don't have a msds.


Anybody selling a kitchen tile laced with toxic heavy metals is just
asking for litigation...
