  • Where can I find these rocks?



    Anyone ever watch his videos? His name is bolly1234 on youtube. He has an hour long video on setting up this aquarium. I think he said he used yorkstone? Where would I be able to find this in the houston or katy area. I am setting up a new african tank. Thanks!

    I would suggest going to NEPCO or Alamo Stone and finding something you like. There's so many different types of rocks. Rocks are named something different in different regions so it may be called Yorkstone where he's from and possible something else here. Just have to go and look

              Cinco ranch is nice but at 2.99 a lb is a bit much for what I want to do. Will have to check out the nepco

                Yea I had no idea about the prices. What I ended up doing is hitting a landscaping yard and purchasing rocks from them.
                I just scrubbed them off one or twice and called it a day.

                  What was the landscape yard? I went to living earth off i10 but they didnt have anything impressive.

                      the only stores online that are selling it are from the UK. Even bolly1234 is from UK. not sure if this helps

                        Nepco has the zebra rock but they want $3.00 a pound for them. The rest they wanted around $1.00 a pound. I wanted the zebra rock and 3 pretty good size rocks cost me close to a hunderd dollars.
