small stones? how do you know this for a fact the only thing that will break them loose is a snake you can rent them at most home improvement stores
you will have to pull the P-trap off and clean it out
get a wrench or channel locks and undo the two compression nuts on the u’ shaped trap under the sink
there will be two rubber or plastic o-rings that the compression nuts squeeze together to form a water tight seal
after you have cleaned/washed the trap out, reassemble
if it leaks, try slightly tightening the nuts, if it still leaks you may have to buy new 1 1/4 compression gaskets for a sink drain at your local home improvement store
TnA Inc has answered this well, all I want to add is for you to get a sink strainer that fits into the plug hole for the next time you clean the fish tank.
