i currently have sand in my 125 and plan on changin to either bare bottom or small black gravel. ive looked in several lfs and only manage to find the small bags of black gravel. are there any places yall order to get large amounts of black gravel? where can i find this stuff?

thanks
 
do a search on the net, or ask if your lfs will order in bigger bags. thats what i did...
 
go with the black....i have found , especially with my RBP's it really brings out their colors. My gars also look really good with the black gravel!
 
I have black gravel. I have it in a 75 g. I got mine at Big Als. 25 pound bags but they were expensive. 25$ for 25 pounds.. : /
 
I went with black gravel too and highly recommend it. I've got a 230 Gal mixed with South Americans & some Asians and they all really pop visually against the dark substraite. I used 100 pounds and have a 1" deep layer. I might get a bit more as I'm often 'replanting' my tank.
 
They say a pound per gallon. It depends. I have a 125 and using only 100lbs of gravel and covers the tank bottom nicely. I have it sloped..about 1" in the front to 2-2 1/2" in the back.
