I'd like to know where I can get slate rocks.

I want to rearrange my tank.

I need about 10 pieces.

 

Thanks.

Thanks Dicky7.

 

I prefer slate rocks though. I don't like the slate tiles as they don't look natural.

Do you know a landscape yard South of the river that might sell them?

If you ring a landscaper they should be able to help you out for a good price as sone buy in bulk and can sell at reduced price

I went to Smiling Rock today and they gave me some nice broken slates for free.

I only had to pay for a piece slate (not broken).

Thanks for the recommendation Riggers.
