my lfs gives it to me for a dolar a pound...

but the local rock pit also sells it for cents a pound, but they are heavier bigger chunks of lace rock... the bottom of the pallet usually has great looking rock... look around at landscaping or gravel pits around your neighborhood...

I believe it's also called Tufa rock.

Gumbii, if you don't mind me asking, where are you located?

I wanted to know if you lived near me. Which rock pit do you go to? I have been unable to find anything other than a couple yards, which all sell pre-cut tile type stuff = / I found a LFS that would sell lace rock for $1 a pound, but a pit that sells it cheaper would be worth a drive!

Do you happen to know the name of the place? If possible, I'd like to drive over there this weekend and pick up what I need for my tank ^.^
