I was searching some designs for a fish tank and came accross this one

:huh:
Does anyone know where I can get a hold of some nice rock like that on the left, I was thinking possibly a garden center, but if someone knows, throw some cents in! Thanks

They have rocks like that at our super pets and petsmart I think. I would be careful about what you get from a garden center you have to make sure there isnt anything toxic to the fish in the rocks.

Some of it looks like slate and granite slabs. Try the larger garden centers and landscaping suppl nurserys'. Most of them have all kinds of rock and stone for pathways and patios. Test as necessary with vinegar/acid. They usually have rubble from handling the skids/pallets that you can get for little or nothing. Same for gravel/sand supply pits in some areas.
