Getting Hold Of Limestone?

[Tiger Tiger]

I would like to get some limestone for my Cichlid tank in England. Without paying a fortune from Aquatic centres are there any other places.
Would any from Say B&Q landscape section do?

Thanks

Maybe make a day trip to a limestone beach like Dover, Flimstone bay (west wales) or many other places along the coast. There are miles of pebble sized limestone pieces simply laying around the place.

warning tho: DO NOT TAKE ROCK FROM THE ROCKFACE!! By all means pick up bit that have already fallen off, but don't pull bits out. You will be causing damage, and risking landslides (+ your life!)

Also - dont forget "limestone" takes many forms. White chalk, red/orange sandstone mixs, greys etc. What colours are you after?

But the cost of getting to Dover and back would probably out weigh the local DIY.

To be honest i am not sure what limestone i want. whatever i can get my hands on i suppose
