I boiled the 1" tiles and the glue came off very well. They are now sitting in a media bag in my toilet tank to give them a month long wash.

Unless the clay used to make the tile is Barium Free I would not put it into an aquarium. The guys that make the ceramic plugs use a Barium Free Clay as Barium is toxic.
