I would say $7 a pound is decent for fully cured rock. You can always call around to different stores in your area though, just to check.

i would order it from either swf.com or ***********.com. they have it in 45 or 22 lb lots at *********** for 79.99 and 119.99. if you get the 45 lbs., it translates to about 2.66 per pound. the rock that i ordered from them was much better than the fiji at my lfs and also cheaper.

quick question, is $7 a lbs. a decent price for cured rock at my lfs. please help.
Yeah Archie, that's a decent price. But you have to realize that those pieces you are staring at aren't 1 pound pieces. So the rock that you really like might cost you $35,00. By online

I paid for our first 50lbs of Fiji LR at a LFS $7.99/lb. No quantity discount.

I have to move to the states
. Pricing around me is about $9-$10 a pound.
If can can find someone selling some "used" rock that is still in water you might get a better deal for cured rock.
I found LR hunting to be almost as fun as buying corals or fish....... i know iam odd

Depending on how much you need I personally wouldn't pay mor than like 3.50 lb for it. I say this because I can have it delivered to my house for that so why pay more.
Cured vs uncured. hmmmm Well if you are just setting up a tank uncured is just as good as cure, maybe even better as it help get the cycle going and build a solid bacterial garden in your tank. If your tank is cycled and you are adding rock, well then I would personally rather cure it at home to besure that it is fully cured before sticking it into my tank.
All this to say that unless you are only adding a pound or two, I would buy online. If the pieces are bigger tan what you want, well that is what they make hammers for,,,
