Hey guys n girls, just wondering where i can pick up some lava rock from within brisbane area.
Cheers
Take a sledge hammer and go visit Redcliffe of a night time when it is low tide...
You might come accross some... 8)
you could always try an aquarium shop :D
but if you dont want to pay for them red cliff is the place to go
hey cordial, i got mine from H20 Babies in ipswich on the mian street, some nice pieces and not too expensive either
If I get some lava rock from Redcliffe, how would I treat it for an aquarium? (especially knowing they used to pump raw sewage into the bay from there, about 15 yrs ago)
In the past I've boiled all my rocks (like granite for example), prior to placing them in any aquarium, just to sterilise any nasties residing on the rock.
Wouldn't lava rock, being more porous, possibly dissolve to some extent if I boiled it?
ya u can boil it then drain off the water and do it again just to be realy safe

try stone merchants at darra . for your lava rock . tell him you will pay cash it may may be cheaper . iman
iman: Have you got there contact details or address details?
Ive rang "red back" and they have it there for $65 per meter, i thought that was way over priced... wat did you pay iman?
Doug, Isn't about time our families went on a family picnic 1 night (when I get back from Melbourne) twas thinking about say Redcliffe??? Kids could go swimming at the salt water pool?
