I bought my premium Fiji lr online for $3.96 per lb. and couldn't have been happier. My lfs(s) wanted anywhere from $4.99 to $10.99 per lb. Even with the quantity discounts, they could not come close to the online price. :)

ya i was thinking about getting some live rock online, but there are two problems
1. the rock you get can be too large or too small for your tank, u dont get to pick it
2. the shipping is a lot. (If there is anyone in georgia that is willing to buy some lr off of the "famouse auction site", please contact me and we can split the shipping.

Hey Norcal. I guess it is in good quality. Since you live in santa rosa. maybe you can drive down to San Francisco. There are a few Fish stores around here. 6th Ave Aquarium,Nippon & Tropical Reef Aquarium. The ladys really nice that works at tropical reef aquarium. She gives you a big discount. Get a entertainment book and you can save tons on fish and more. I bought one and got a 20% off discount.
I bought 55 LBS with the 20% off and she gave me a nice big discount for my LS.
If your intrested The adress is 1732 Taraval Street (between 27th-28th Ave)
Sanf Francisco, Ca 94116
Open til 8oclock i think. I don't know when it opens.
If your intreseted in fish only. Theres another store in SF that has a 50% off bag sale.
Clement Street, ( between 6th & 7th ave.) Flowers in front too so you can grab some for your wife.
Very cheap I would say. lions for $13. Clown Triggers for 22 and a lot more.

There are alot of great deals on an internet aution site we all know and love. That's where I got my LS and LR. I paid like 78.00 for 20lbs Ls and 10lbs LR total, that includes shiping too. Just make sure the seller you choose has alot of positive feedback from previous buyers. :yes:

What i did to save some money, I got 150 lbs of hawaian base rock for $2.00lbs shipped. and seeded it with 50lbs live rock fiji $1.50lbs from classifieds, people are allways breaking down there tanks. look on famous auction site, do a search locally, to save on shipping. good luck.

All the places around here have liverock but it's a rip off and is expensive, that's why I never bought their's, lol. Hey Speg that rock where you get it sounds cool. what colors are the x-mas tree worms? I would mind a few punds of that stuff...
