I see many different types of rocks, pebbles and stones in home depot. I assume some or all will bleed minerals into the water they sit in. This would be taken up by the plants in pots sitting in this water. If minerals are bad for cp's then what type of stones are safe to use? Is marble ok?

Don't waste your time with humidity trays, their effect on ambient humidity is negligible.

So I'm better off just sitting the pots in an inch or two of water without pepples?

Assuming they are plants that need that much water, yes.
