    Holey rock is expensice in Oz about $12.50 a kilo in some places
    thats 81 rand a kilo.
    Yes its imported so thats why it cost so much.

    In my malawi tanks I use limestone i get from the beach and garden, im sure cape town has some beaches with limestone?
    if you do manage to get some limestone from the beach just make sure you wash it in vinegar and salt and then soak it in de-chlorinated water for 3-4 days

    I was under the impression :

    Like you gt a fishing permit, you could get a permit that allows shell collection from the beach?

    from what i understand you would actually need a mining permit as it is rock and not shells
