    Glad you guys like the tip, it is hit or miss with what they have in stock. Look. ; ) Im famous!! Save all that dust!! small chips are what give your scape detail and that dust goes on your superglue gel, when you super glue gel wood to your rock to plants to rock or anything to rock the dust with the glue is what makes it look like a part of the rock. keep a ziploc bag for each rock when you work with the rock do it on something so you can save it in your baggie.

    Really huge money saver crushed shell for African Cichlid tanks or higher pH tanks at Rural King or quality Farm and Fleet it’s about $10 for a 50 pound bag. Compared to the normal one dollar per pound $.20 per pound is great. It’s in the chicken feed area it promotes harder egg shells.

    Thanks for the great tip! Such great rock -- One thing to be careful about with stone from non-fish stores and from gardening places or landscaping is that sometimes it can have insecticide residue on it, so I'd be sure to wash and soak it well before popping it into tanks, or so I've been warned. Looks like a great haul!

    @MichaelClark-uw7ex 3 роки тому +3

    I've used rock from construction supply stores, great deals for the same rock without the massive markup, my shrimp tank has lava rock from a css.
    Another money saving tip, if you live in an area with usable rock, use native rocks.
    Right now, several of my aquariums are decorated with native shale from right here in Ohio, I bleach them to kill parasites, fungus and algae then rinse and have never had a problem.
    Our other native rock is limestone which I avoid because it slowly dissolves and makes the water hard.

The 25 gallon is 1 large, 2 medium, and 2 small rocks. The 10 gallon set has 2 medium and 3 small. With shipping to my South Carolina home, that came to about $135 dollars. Amazon has the exact same items for about $84 shipped to my home. With free returns.

    Oh boy, the cat is out of the bag! Oh man. Haha I was just talking with Kenny an Dani of Daniken Aquatics about this, and we were saying "how long do you think this will take before the fishfam finds out?...then when will prices go up haha.
    Great tip for sure.
    PS. I've watched your channel for years, and shadowed your growth as well. If you would ever like to collaboration or would do me the honor of speaking with me in an interview or livestream, I would love to work you guys.

    Thanks for sharing. Do you have to soak or boil the rock before using it?

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  Рік тому

      Don’t boil it because some rocks can explode, but soaking them in a 10% bleach solution for a day helps (and then rinse them off).

    I work at a rock quarry and we mine granite that we crush down for construction aggregate. What, if any, are precautions I should take If wanted to try to use this in a future tank? I can dig up chemical tests we run on the stone since it's used in concrete applications and we need to know the alkaline reactivity, but would any of this help to determine how it would mess with water quality? We hit veins of quartz and have some very pretty rocks that we find.

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics  3 роки тому +1

      It would certainly impact water parameters more if your water is on the softer side with a lower pH. You could always put the rock in a plastic tote and see how the water parameters change (if it all).
