Where To Get My Rock On?

[satrop]

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good and trusted site that I could get some good rocks from. Looking for a site over here in Merica!
 
Thanks in advance.

i found all my rocks from local streams and then performed all checks to make sure they wont mess with water parameters
much cheaper

I found my rock at the local disc store.
It was really expensive.
 
Joking aside, even if you buy online, won't it cost a lot of money for shipping?
 
I buy mine from a LFS and they sell them at 1$ a pound.
I got some pretty nice rocks from there but had to search and go often!
Same thing goes with driftwood!

LOL, I wish I had a local fish store. I live in a very, VERY small town. My "local fish store" is a PetCo, no offense to PetCo but fish is not the bag. Next "best" thing. Walmart . I think my closest fish store is 1/2 hour drive away. 
 
Trip the stream it is then.

You should be able to find them on ebay, amazon, and some on aquabid.
I have not ordered from this site but they also have nice rocks http/www.manzanita-driftwood.com/Aquascaperock.html

Awesome! I have just sent off a few questions to the site you (Ninjouzata) sent me, thanks for that. Really like the rocks they had to offer.

Would they be safe from a river in uk??

 

[nortonmad213]

Yea sure just be to clean them and do all tests to make sure it won't mess with ur levels
It's free. Apart from a bottle of bleach to clean and some vinegar to test

Do you have garden centres over there that sell stone for rockeries?  

 

[satrop]

YES, and I didn't even think to look! Thank you for pointing out something that should have be very obvious. Off to HomeDepot I go! Saying that I have seen some REALLY nice rocks in a garden just round the corner. I'll have to ask where they got them from or if they have any spare.
 
Again, thanks for the tip.  

 

[satrop]

Well, I have my new rocks. Giving them a nice soak right now. Here is the most boring photo you might see today. Tee hee!
