Where is your Iwagumi rock source

This is a discussion on Where is your Iwagumi rock source within the DIY Area forums, part of the Aquarium Related Chat category; I'm just wondering where people get their rocks for their aquariums. Do you think Crystals or mineral rocks would work? ...

    Default Where is your Iwagumi rock source

    I'm just wondering where people get their rocks for their aquariums.

    Do you think Crystals or mineral rocks would work? Would raw Jade work?

    You just have to seek high and low. Often you can find suitable rock at landscape or garden shops. I usually just boil the crap out of them before adding them to the tank. I took many geography/geology courses in University so I have a little background. You can sometimes get them from other BCAers as well. Good Luck on the hunt.

    Best Regards,
