A Place For Pets has a great cichlid selection, if that's what you like. It's my favorite LFS around.

CoryWM;2187684; said:I've yet to see any dry pockets, and have no trouble growing low light plants in my tank or my buddies 180. However if you were gonna go for something bigger than S grade. go with black gravel, as it will be easier to take care of, even if you never plan on vacuuming it.

Black sand looks very cool.

LFS are a rip off on almost everything.. I saw the Fluorite I have for sale at $29.99 per bag plus tax.. Now imagine having to fill a 100 gallon plus tank with that? yeah right... It's like they buy from the same places we do and try to re-sell it for a profit.
