Tile reef safe for tank

I wanted to buy tile and use them for frag disk. Is there a certain kind I need to use?

Tile

I use Tumbled marble from lowes and cut them up for frag disks.
They work and get covered in coralline quickly.

So I just look for Tumbled marble.

travertine works great... you can buy the little 1"x1" squares ready to go...

I have used regular ceramic tiles from Lowes/HD with no problems. PITA to get the glue off the back, but some don't even do that. I was buying the 12"x12" mosaics. Something to watch for with tile is that if the surface is too smooth, glue won't stick to it very well. The tiles I last bought were more porous.

Thanks for the help guys

The glue is actually pretty easy to deal with. Put a bunch in water, pop-em in the microwave til the water boils then scrape it off with a table knofe. Gotta do it while they're still hot, so use something to hold them with.

I use the little 1X1 ones that look like rough square rock....work great and look pretty natural (as square can look natural)
