125 Gallon Rocks

[barrettsline]

Man there are a multitude of things you can do, but since i knew I had time I did the following:

1. Washed rock with a garden hose.
2. Scrubbed rocks with a stiff bristle brush to ensure I removed everything from the surface I could.
3. Bleached (4 cups) for 24hrs in a large plastic tote from walmart (Ice chest work great as well)
4. Removed rocks and washed with the garden hose again.
5. Soaked in clean water with dechlorinator for another 24 hrs.

I do this for almost any rock I get including holey rock, limestone, river rock, etc.

How do I make sure that the rocks are safe? I heard something about vinegar, but I know I'm getting the ones you got so I shouldn't worry about it

sandstone rocks. Covered with algae

Clean bro.

Yeah man no problem. never buy from an aquarium store. search out rock yards and landscaping yards. Rock is stupid cheap, except for a few.

The rock in the bottom left of my picture is about the size of a basketball. Personally I wouldnt go much larger than that as it is going that take up a lot of space and it's a lot of weight. Tank will be filthy and cloudy tonight but I will take picture once I rescape. they will be bad though.

I'm a go buy them monday. thanks for all the info man, I was having a hard time finding where I can go buy some

So they do have some good sized one, I need some big ones and then some medium sized onEs

[barrettsline]

That had a few. The two large pieces i got are about 13-14" tall. They had some that were taller but the proportions of the rocks weren't to my liking.

Do they have tall peices 18 - 24 inches? That's what I had a hard time finding.

[barrettsline]

They have plenty. The rock you see in my picture is all going in a 135.

Think they have enough for my 125?

But Thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it

The rock is in bins under some trees. They have "Driftwood" on a pathway in front of the bins. Its on the right of the pathway leading to the back of the lot.

This might help when you get there though.
