Is anybody selling black gravel or river rock?

[Juan]

Is any one selling any black gravel or black river rock.I am setting up my 175 gallon bowfront and instead of the natural colored gravel I want to go with black.I need about 100 - 125 pounds of it if anybody knows who is selling some or were I can buy some I would really appreciate it.

Aquazoo sells black blasting sand for $25.00 for a 100 lb bag.  It's not totally black though, it has just a tiny bit of other natural colored grains in it.

When do you plan on setting the tank up?

I have a 135g with about 100lbs or more of black gravel that I want to replace.

I had sand in one my thanks and didn't like it it got into my filters.I want to get the tank up and running by Sunday if possible.Is the gravel that you have in your tank is small or pea size.

The black sand that they have a Aquazoo won't give you that problem.  The white blasting sand that they have is a filter murderer!!!  I have had the black blasting sand in my tanks for many months with no problems.  The only issue with this stuff it, takes a few days to settle if you don't wash the ever living crap out of it.

Yeah I had got the white blasting sand from Aquazoo it just left a bad taste in my mouth.Plus it's not as easy to syophon as gravel or clean.
