Independent pet stores or find a rock bottom river or stream. Google to see if you have a landscaping place near you. Shipping would be pricey to go that route.
Where does everyone get those big round rocks that I see in most planted tanks?
Like these in the pic?

Ok, thanks!!
Ya I would say landscape supply. Just be sure to test whatever you find
Im not illiterate...only my phone's auto correct is
Test with vinegar, correct?
landscape supplier. Those black ones like that are basalt. Very aquarium safe.
Garden , landscape or pond suppliers .
Or better yet , take a walk in nature by your nearest forest or lake and handpick your own collection for free .
Muratic acid - HCL is quicker and more accurate way to test if a stone is chemically inert in water I.e. does not dissolves or leach something over time .
We have granite and sand stone around here.
I think that granite is rock hard and safe for aquarium use , and sandstone may increase KH and GH of water so it would be not recommendable for discus tanks .
Anyway , use muratic acid test and if it boils , don't put it in .
