Dragon stone?

[powertodareefle]

After a 30 year hiatus I'm setting up a new tank.
I really like the look of this Dragon stone and I'm wondering if it can be used in a reef tank without leeching minerals into the tank.

No idea what that is.
Saltwater aggressively puts metals in solution. The safest rock is old coral or limestone with as many holes as swiss cheese

Obsidian? OP, come back to the real world, this isn't westeros.

Its often used in the freshwater world for aquascaping..

I'm not sure if its a good choice for a marine tank though.. Some manufacturers say its ok.. Others make no mention of its suitability in saltwater..

Its not nearly as porous as the rock we use which would make it less effective for bacterial colonization/denitrification..

I've never heard of Dragon Stone before, but there is something called Lace rock that is used for aquariums. This comes in some gnarly formations and it's usually accompanied by orange or lime green deposits on the rock.

I'm sure you can aquascape Pukani rock to make it look similar to the dragon stone.
