Went out and checked on a store that Jess told me about awhile back and I was totally amazed. Besides having many handmade arts and crafts and outdoor gardening stuff that had some rocks i could use for my fish tank. I got 62 lbs of River Rock for .12 a lbs and 57 lbs of Flagstone for .20 a lbs. This place is off of exit 11 on I24 right next to were the new Pet Palace is being built. Here are a few pics of what they look like in my tank. 72g w/ River Rock  125 w/ Flagstone (this rock will look better i think once it gets colored and some algea growth)   |

That's a great deal you got on those rocks. did you have to boil them before putting in the tank?

Im probably going to catch flak for this, but im honest. I have never boiled a rock before. I did spend 2 hours scrubbing the crap out of them though.

That is a GREAT price for stones !
I have never boiled either, but all my stones get a really good scrubbing with a brush under running water, then are soaked in a Clorax / H20 bath over night in a bucket to kill any micro whatevers, then rinsed, then again soaked in declor treated H20 in a bucket, before being placed into use.
Your tanks and the added rocks look fantastic !
