Well I'm trying to find some nice rock online to build some caves out of to put within my plants. Already have some nice pieces of driftwood in there but want to add a nice rock cave on the right side of my tank. Anyone know where to get some good rock online? Thanks in advance.

Try Home Depot. They have small stones for lining gardens, and I think they would have larger slabs for walkways and such. Just make sure they are aquarium safe as some may leech into the water over time.

Also see if there are any landscaping supply companies in your area. Or a small rock quarry. Shipping rocks gets expensive fast! You could also try to find a river/stream and collect your own.

They have some fake rock caves in a selection of different rock types. I know around here it's hard to pick up real rock -especially those that wouldn't effect the pH.

Slate works great, will not effect water chemistry and can be found at any garden center. All you need is goggles and a hammer to make the pieces you want.
Ended up getting some river rock and flagstone. They said the flagstone is very similar to slate and is used in a lot of koi ponds so it shouldn't affect the water chemistry. I will be sure to keep up on testing to verify.
