Search Craigslist and your local forums and look for someone tearing a tank down and buy their established rock. If you search for long enough you can find quality established rock for close to the same price you'd buy base rock.
There are lots of people getting out of the hobby with the bad economy so there are definitely deals out there.
I would buy uncured rock
DGee, I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. The OP wasn't asking about base rock, rather LR. If you meant uncured LR, of course you're going to going to have PO4!Lancer how do you figure? I would take live rock from someones established tank that was tearing down any day before starting from scratch with base rock.
Too many times have I seen people fight with high po4 levels because of how much was bound up in the base rock, then comes algea problems and fighting high nutrient levels from the get go... If you want diversity get healthy rock from someone and add a few lbs of fresh live rock from an lfs.
Is there a link to show the exact steps to this? Also, when buying uncured over the Internet, does it need to be over nighted?
Drinking and posting on RC is not always the smartest thing... I was under the assumption for some reason that he was asking about base rock.
Seriously... go dry rock. ....
I'll never start with "wet" rock again... cured or uncured. I've gone through too many issues that friends of mine never even had to mess with. Plus, dry rock is so much cheaper.
Good luck.
