Now that I live in Hawaii I have access to lava rocks and dead coral rock, free. I just wonder if there's a market for it. :dunno: I could boil it

then sell it here, cheap, just a little $$ for my trouble. I don't know what they charge in the LFSs in the mainland, but I know they charge a lot for a piece of drift wood.
I was at the beach and grabed a couple pieces for my tank, then thought "hey, others might like this" so I'm asking for opinions. :/
Would it be worth it, you pay shipping + a little bit for me, like a few $$ for getting and boiling them? ????
Here is a few of the rocks I got for myself, these are coral i think, there very light and porus, I'm going to get some lava rocks tomorrow and I'll post some pics if there is any interest:

These pix are before they were cleaned


I can get any size, you could even tell me what your looking for and I could show pictures first so you can know what your getting.

:unsure:

Are you sure that Pele isn't cursing you for taking the lava rocks from her volcano? :D
Didn't Pele play soccer for Brazil?

He now does impotence commercials on TV.

maybe this is just a stupid idea :|
I don't think it's a stupid idea. If I didn't have high ph already I would buy some from you. It's a neat change from driftwood. But I think lava rock raises ph. :(
 
They are nice rocks. My mom's family is from Hawai'i so she would never let us take lava rocks because Pele (the volcano goddess, not the soccor player) would curse us.

The rocks look a lot like the Texas rocks that people put in cichlid tanks. I also have high pH (and a low budget :lol: ) so I would not be in the market for them. It may come as a nice source of money-on-the-side.
