Where to source large rocks, real or fake.

Tank is 60x24x30 with two 20x10 openings

All I can find are medium sized stones that will be a bit difficult to move in a tall tank once filled.

Underwater Galleries makes a fake rock that I have been happy with. Not sure what type of fish you plan on putting into your tank. Theirs are hollow so they serve well as caves , are light and don’t displace much water However they are not huge. Biggest are about half the size of a football. They work well for African cichlids.
Universal rocks also makes fake rocks but I have not purchased any of them so can’t speak for them.
All of the rocks below save the slate are examples.

It will be an all male hap/ciclid so no caves just need to break sightlines and build some depth

Check if there is a landscaping supply, stone/rock supplier near your location as it is usually the cheapest place to buy rocks in bulk.

Looks great I'm just trying to figure out what I can fit in the acrylic cutouts at this point and how to mount the hollow background rocks

+1 on the rockyard / landscape company suggestion. I bought approx. 200 lbs. of Texas Holey rock from local rockyards. Cost 12 cents to 25 cents per lb.

I have a Universal Rocks background, and I'm happy with it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy their rocks.
