divy Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone has some aquarium rocks for sale? I'm setting up a 12l tank and im going for a iwagumi layout, ive searched my lfs but nothing only crappy pieces of driftwood and i even check out my back yard hoping theres some nice rocks laying around my fish pond i can steal but nothing, so if any one has some rocks that might look good in a tank or even know of any websites to buy from please let me know cheers steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghengis Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) I hear rivers and streams have the odd rock or two lying around on the place....cheap too! Thats where I get mine...although I don't live in Melbourne, so it's probably somewhat easier for me to get those sorts of things local... EDIT: Just re-read your post. Since you are only setting up 12L, you won't need massive rocks...have a look alongside railway tracks. Decent, chuncky, fist sized rocks are often used to build up and level off the the rail lines. I got a huge pile of these to go in my DIY Barracks, and they are perfect. Just give them (or any rocks, for that matter) a good boiling before you use them...

jo oakley Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Rocks you want rocks I have them coming up in my garden all the time(floaters) are you going to the fish fair? I can put some in the car for you. I give the a boil before I put them in the tanks give me an idea of size and I can have a look for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbydad Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 When ever there is road building there are always a few rocks around. Make sure that they are thoroughly washed though because the may contain chemicals. The cost is very cheap. Creeks are also another good spot.
