    I'm starting to set-up a 90 gal fresh chiclid tank and was wanting to get a hold of some lace rock. There are a couple landscaping supply houses in my area. My question is, Can I purchase from a gravel/stone supplier and some how clean the lace rock and safely put it into my freshwater tank? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    that would work. i personally have taken rocks out of the lake that i live on and used them in some of my fresh water set ups. i bleached them for good measure and spent a very long time rinsing them but it worked out in the end. rocks from the lake for sure beats spending five or six bucks a pound at my lfs lol.
