Live rock

I am setting up a 20 gallon and am ready to get some live rock. I need to know where some good online sites are to order live rock that isnt to expensive. Pics would be great! Thanks.

well...shipping is going to make it just as much as it would be from your LFS. But check with tbs (tampa bay saltwater...not sure the website but they're on the sponsor forum here i think), liveaquaria.com....just look through the sponsors on here and you'll find a few places.

Premium Aquatics is probably your best bet for online. Google live rock, there are several sites. If you want manmade, TBS is superior with tons of life. There are threads on RC regarding TBS.

Go to your lfs to get it all

I don't know if you have craigslist in your area, or the equivalent, but that is the best place to get LR these days if you're on a budget, IMO. You can usually get it for around $1 a pound from someone who is breaking down their tank. check it out: craigslist.com

I see somone siad online live rock was the same price as the LFS,how much do you pay for live rock at you local LFS just curious.Its 10 lb here for and sand.

Here in az the cheapest place out of about 5 or so LFS's that i've found is 5 bucks a pound....not really that great of rock though. And it just goes up from there to some nice rock thats about 10 bucks or more.

If you order online you gotta pay shipping by the pound, which is gonna be expensive....so it'll be making it pretty close to the same price as the store...I usually see stuff for around 3.50 or more online...plus shipping.
