Can you use bags of "lava" rock that is sold at the hardware store for gas grills? This rock is small enough for a background and cheap, but I'm not sure it is the same thing you buy at the petstore. Any help?

Just make sure it is not treated with any chemicals. Look for all natural lava rocks for gas grills.

Sounds interesting. How will you set up the background with it? I've seen so many novel and inspired backgrounds on here...I'd like to see a photo of what you do.

Makes a good biological media for wet/dry filters too.

i'm using some vinyl gutter material and cutting holes in it, then siliconing the rocks to the glue. I saw it somewhere on the web. I will try to find the link and post it. I am doing it a little diffirent than that guy did, I will be making vertical and horizontal caves and the vertical ones will hide all the pipes and cables.
