I collected native volcanic rock to use as base rock in my tank because the rocks were neat shaped. I washed them, boiled them, and then left them in a bucket of saltwater out on the porch for awhile. I haven't had any problems with them in my tank and they are super porous. You can collect rocks on blm land as long as you don't use power equipment and the rocks are at the surface.

I have an AC70 fuge that I made by cutting some plastic until it fit to make a chamber and glued it. My husband made a new lid for it out of stainless that holds some under cabinet fluorescent lights. We put foam tape on the inside of it to stop it from rattling.
