[AquaticLife] where do i find rounder rocks
Just drop your keys into the garden area and come up with a few rocks along with your keys.
Rocks are really, really cheap at a landscape/garden supply place…. but nothing’s cheaper than free.
Just make sure you rinse them well and then boil them, no matter where you get them from to make sure you rinse off any possible pesticides, etc. This is why some aquarium sites dissuade people from using porous rocks of unknown source… you never know where it might have picked up some contamination that might leach out once it’s in your tank. But even if you buy something from your local pet store or fish store, you never know if they bought it from a reliable source. Finding your own and cleaning them is just as good as buying it. Whenever I buy anything “natural”, like driftwood, I still soak and boil and prep it as if I found it along side the road.
Of course, with some of the stuff we find along side the road down here, we normally make Road-Kill Stew with it. You just have to get to it before the buzzards get to it. ![]()
