Aquarium rock
 

Any one know where to get some of this stuff, either texas holey rock or base rock. The prices for this rock at random fish shops is bullshit.

I could probably comb the beach for them but don't really want all the salt thats embedded in it either if i can help it.

You'd probably end up with a fine from the relevant conservation department to boot if you beach combed as well Tim o_O

A little salt won't hurt fresh water fish.

Unfortunately, those "rocks" are usually salt water "live rocks" and they cost a bomb.

finding a rock with that sort of cave and holes in it seems to be hard and the only semi decent rock i see around the place is like $75 + per rock crazy

you can get them as non live rock but like you said cost a bit.

Might end up just sticking my large ship wreak and live plants.

I'm still waiting on the aquarium at the moment couple weeks away. dying to get it.

Have you considered drift woods for hiding holes? Usually much cheaper - although you need to pre soak and clean before installation.

I have seen the drift wood, as i have small bits of drift wood in my two small tanks.
the driftwood from the shops come pre soaked which is good. I probably will get a bit of drift wood also. but the rock does look very good

have you tried bunnings?? might just be my imagination but i think I have seen it there.

otherwise I think vebas does it like $3 a kilo or something like that?? worth asking

My new custom tank that is comming I want to keep everything real no imatation stuff in this tank.

But $3 a kilo would be good average price is about $10 a kilo.

I will give vebas a call cheers
