The cheapest stones are available at rivers or ponds. They are free which is better than cheap, it's where the ones that shops sell come from originally. Decorative stones are a big con.
Most of the decorative stones aren't even safe to use, things like marble are toxic and give off arsenic into your fishes home.
 
I stuck a huge pile of coloured marbles in my aquarium. They look great but they're a pig to keep clean.

What sort of stones do you want? Could you go to a beach and get some nice pebbles? They're free and look cool as long as you give them a bloody good clean.
 
I have a tropical fish tank and i need to buy new stones but don't want to spend an absolute fortune. I live in Romford, essex and wondered if anyone knew of a shop near me that was reasonable?
 
Funnily enough I was in my local branch of Wilkinsons and they have a Fen Shui section. Lots of shiny rocks and bits of pretty glass and compared to bought for use aquarium decor, cheap.

Glass is definitely safe to use and the stones have obviously come from a river. Couldn't help myself, had to buy a tub of ying/yang glass pebbles :0)
