  • my visit to NEPCO

    just came home from this place and they have an amazing selection. i went there to get some black magma rock like what Complexity put in her 90g journal. great price at 30cents/lbs but then i saw the zebra boulders. not as cheap but really nice. i also picked up some lava rock boulders and smaller pieces. i got 20lbs of zebra and 36lbs of lava for under $30!

    oh yea all the holey rock fans they have it at 40cents/lbs. not sure if thats cheap but just thought i would let yall know.

    here is a pic. the noodles were not included in the purchase its for size comparison purposes ONLY

      Yes, those rocks will be great in your tank. Good choice! And completely safe. Just rinse 'em off, because they've been outside a while and could have stuff on them.

      I wouldn't put the noodles in there, though...you just never know... )

        good prices... Good price for holey rocks, no way you will find it for .40 a pound at fish stores.... Most people sale them for .80-1.00 a pound

                    i think this should be put into the fish related section, or even sticky for that site.... comes in very very handy, not a hard place to get to either... might have to go there and buy some stuff before i move to dallas...

                              This place is amazing. I picked up close to 200 lbs od the Black Magma rock (Black Starlite granite) for a little over $60.00. The amount of Texas Holey Rock they have is unbelievable. The majority of it had nice size holes as well.
