Where do you get your gravel?

[IITUFFTOBEATII]

I want a black, small grain (3/16" - 1/4") gravel. Sand is out of the question because of the RUGF. I need to cover 24 square feet with 1-1.5" of gravel, thats 2-3 cubic feet of gravel, I hope buying it in 15 lb bags at the LFS is not my only option. Any suggestions?

I know how to use the yellow pages, and I know how to search the internet. I am also familiar with all of the companies that your search turned up, not one of them will have what I am looking for. I appreciate that you're trying to help, however I am looking for members have first hand experience.

Sorry, bud. I know Exotic Aquariums has gravel in bulk bins, and they have 50lb bags of it under the bins. Have you checked there?

Check a landscaping company. I bought some gravel from a local company before. You will have to wash it well but it is usually much cheaper.

Going to go by this weekend, I havent been there in months. I am hoping that they have what I am looking for in stock.
