more pics of my opae ula tank, before moving

So, I've been looking for lava rock for a while now, and everything I've found is the red, high clay content lava rock from mainland North American sources. I have not yet found Hawaiian black lava rock yet. I bought a bag of lava rocks for barbecue grills from Lowe's, and it was all red lava rock t...

Pics of my rescued OPAE ULA in a goldfish bowl

Where to find Hawaiian black lava rock for Opae Ula?
Hey, I'm putting together a new larger tank for some Opae Ula I rescued from 3 of those ecospheres. I'm trying to find some Hawaiian high-velocity ejectile pumice, same as from FukuBonsai, but can't find any here in LA. The red-brown stuff you find in Home Depot and Lowe's is all California desert l...
