how much do you pay for live rock?

I buy fiji LR from my LFS for $4/lb., or some with more coraline for $6-7/ lb. But all the LR in my tank right now (about 20 lbs.) he gave to me for $3 lb. My LFS is really nice, if the manager doesn't find out. :D

I bought 50 pounds of very nice live rock for $150 and that included shipping. One of my LFS sells their rock for $12 a pound.

I've bought some from LFS for $9/lb and have bought much more from an online store that has walk-in hours. I paid ~$4.50/lb and was able to hand select the rock pieces. Thats the only way I'll buy rock now.

Used to pay 5.99 per pound, but know how to make my own using base rock for about 1.00 per pound. Just cycle it, seed it, and wait.

Hey Rascoe, can you tell me where you go in Houston? Fish-R-US in Conroe has Figi for $4.99 but it's not the nicest pieces!
