[APD] Re: OUCH!

I have found vinegar to be a bit unreliable for detecting carbonates in 
gravel. Depending on the history, it may give no "fizzing" at all, while 
good old cheap (if more dangerous) pool acid, aka muriatic, aka 
hydrochloric, will always produce visible bubbles on substrates, rocks 
or ornaments that tend to harden your water. Just my $0.02, YMMV.
