Dave+Amy Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Checked out the LPS and haven't found any large bags of either dark red (small grain) substrate, does anyone know where to get it from - would like it to be inert, so my pH doesn't change. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave+Amy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm in wellington, the shipping costs doesn't make it worth it.. Can anyone tell me if that Dalton's propagation mix is easy to clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not sure if you have a Stone and Water world, but if you do they have heaps of black . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paekakboyz Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I was out at Palmers Garden centre in Plimmerton the other week. Right beside them is a landscaping outfit. I got some river stones and they have a wide selection of gravels/pebbles etc of all sorts of colours. There is a little pre-fab office that has shelves with display boxes of all the choices - some really cool looking options I reckon. Worth checking out. Remember to wet them (guy there has a spray bottle) to get an idea of what they'll look like in the tank too! some of the stones change colour markedly when wet.

Dave+Amy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 dam...why doesn't wellington have stores like that :-? the cheapest substrate I found at the LPS was a 14L bag of small dark gravel for $50 or a small bag of black flourite for $100...which I'll need quite a few bags of. Paekakboyz - do you know what they were selling the pebbles at by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paekakboyz Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 sorry I didn't catch any of the prices for that stuff. Most of the rock there was well priced tho (all by weight as you'd imagine). If you did head out you'd want to have an idea of how much you'd need for the tank...
