ok i actually paid 1.60/lb i didnt add up the actual numbers but its still a great deal compared to what ive been paying at LFS. yes i got it used from someone who needed more room in their reef, and i am going to pick it up thursday morning. the only thing im worried about is having my 29 look like a quarry! heck, for that price ill keep in in an extra tank in the basement.
how long do you think i should quarantine it?

yeah, Dip your lr in a higher salinity water. Wait a little bit, most bad critters will evac the rock.
I've bought tanks locally and used the lr from the other tanks then sold the tanks to my ciclid friends. I've actually turned the tank for what i paid. So technically my lr was free.
