Where Can I Purchase Large Cobbles Or Pebbles?

[logansmil]

I would like to buy some pebbles for my tank and I saw an amazing tank with them in on this site, but I can't remember where exactly. The person had used sand and had built a lovely aquatic secenary. I have tried looking on various sites for these pebbles/ cobbles but most have a mininmum order of 1 ton.

I would be greatful for any help you guys and gals can give me.

Garden centres are a good try or even some B&Q's

home base focus and garden center's but
B&Q are good for them like but remember
to do the fizz test with vinegar if
it fizzes its no good

I've looked on the b&Q and homebase website but they do not have the pebbles I am after. I think they are flint pebbles and they are about 8 inchs long. Any other suggetions.

last time i was in B&Q they did a full
range of pebbles cobbles gravels shails
and stuff like that i think it might be
worth going have a look around at some places
as i have been on site that some time only put
the most popular thing that's going at the moment
focus or home base try them as well

Thanks biffster. I'll tear myself away from my tank for a while and go window shopping. Lol, I love this site - you guys and gals are so helpful.

Biffster is quite right, just take some vinegar with you to do the test. I've picked up some nice stones etc this way.

And where did you get yours from?

 

[Littlemonkey]

I am lucky and have a good selection of Garden Centres near me. I've also spotted some decent stones etc at B&Q. If the B&Q do a good selection of water features then you will find they will do the stones that compliment these. Good hunting.

I vote B&Q. Awsome service, they even have little buckets of sample stones set up at my local one so you can take a few home first to colour match.
