Thread: getting rocks and other things?

  1. #1

    Default getting rocks and other things?

    Im looking to fill a 125 gal chiclid tank with rocks and branches. Is there a quarry or somewhere cheap maybe even free to get some of this stuff? and if so what is the right steps to clean the rocks before putting them in a tank? this is not a established tank so it will be cycled before adding any fish.



    thanks for any help....


    O yea go visit www.azreef.com

    I would use some bleach on the rock, rinse well, then leave it out in the sun for a few days. Any residual bleach or chloramines will chemically react in the presence of light and heat.
