Best LFS to buy live rock

If your looking for cheap rocks that are cured, go to Reef Life Inc. I went today and got about 10lbs of tonga rocks for about 30 bucks. Well worth it IMO. Not only do they have tonga, but there are a few more. They are going to move to a new location, so everything is on sale... or rather most of it.
$3/lb for LR, any type

Oh, I meant base rocks will weigh less verse LR because of the water in the LR. Most places sell dry base rocks and they are all rocks/aragonite on the scale.
And don't worry about all those rocks in your tank....unless drop a huge piece in your tank.
The only thing I would of done was put some kind of board or eggcrate on the bottom when I first started, then the bottom of the tank won't have any 'pressure point.'

As for base rock, I think Reef Life had a few pieces that I saw on the floor. Fish collection had a few pieces too the last time I went to buy some base rocks. Its wonderful how much 20lbs of base/live rock can do to a tank. Plus it makes me a happy camper.

They will never cut prices, even on group buys,
You know, you might talk to Pat about making a group buy, if it's like a couple hundred pounds... It may not save money but it'd get you fresh stuff with lots of life and you'd have alot more to choose from when it came in. (not that his stuff doesn't, he has the nicest stuff around) You just might have to wait till he moves, I wouldn't order any more if it were me till I moved.

I know somebody in California that sells Fiji LR for $ 1.50 lb, if you get 4 or more boxes, $ 1.40 for 8 or more, but then you have airfreight and security surcharge on top of that.
But there is also a guy in the Keys with a LR lease, not sure of his prices and how he sells it.
