I don't really know what qualifies as inexpensive, though. In local fish stores, I see slate and granite for about $1.29/lb., and small-to-medium sized driftwood for up to $30. Can anyone think of a better place to look for this stuff where it's cheaper than a retail fish shop? I'm in Austin, TX, so local places would be much better.

My desk already has a Florescent light so I don't want to shell out the money to buy a Aquarium cover + florescent light. What is a good replacement for an aquarium cover? I don't think I want the terrarium covers because they're wire screens- and they let dust through. Any suggestion?

When I do water changes, I want to be frugal and use the water to water my plants. Is this a good idea?
The old aquarium water has nitrates and some nitrites and is Ph balanced. There is also some diluted salts in it.
