    Well from what I've read on the Forums, a lot of people are looking for fine black gravel.
    Ever since I had my first tank I wanted black gravel, but being in PE, it was very hard to find. This April, the wifey and I went to Cape Town for our Honeymoon. Thats where I stumbled across this little Fish shop owned by a Chinese dude. He's located in the Brackenfell industrial area. I got the gravel there at a bargain price, I bought about 20kgs of the stuff.

    I hope this helps

    Here's a map of how to get there:
