My family owns and runs [link=California's oldest brick company]http://www.mcnear.com" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link]. Yes, they are safe to use in tanks because although they are made out of dirt and clay and that kind of stuff, they are baked at such high temperatures that they become rock hard and perfectly stable and water. Just make sure you rinse them off first, because they can have lots of dust on them and also many brick-manufacturing companies work with asbestos. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
