You could always use sand (if you haven't already). I went to wallmart and got three 20 pound bags of blue play sand for a total of like six bucks. it looks great in my 55 gallon tank and was way more budget friendly than putting new rocks in there. The only thing i worried about was the filter intake sucking it up (hang on back filter) but i got this stuff from were i work that allows water to pass through it but blocks the sand. I think its called dell net or something like that. I just wrapped it around the bottom were the water comes through.

i figured but i wasnt sure about wether or not some would have a coating wich wouldnt work out with fish hehe thanx and ill give it a whirl
I recently put some terra cotta pots in my tank! These pots previously had plants in them, so I gave them a good scrub and a soak in hot water before I put them in the tank. I didn't want to bring any unwanted elements in the tank. If I were you, I'd give the pots at least a soak in hot water, just to be safe... you'll have to share pics when you get them in!
