Hey, what part of Maryland do you live in, there is a place in glen burnie that sales good rock but it is $10lbs but if you buy more than 100lbs they sale it for $6.00 lbs. They have a websit also seasavedotcom in glenburnie. They only deal in Saltwater fish

what is about Pacific East aquacluture, they do selling premium or fiji live rock. It is in far east of Maryland.

Exotic Aquatics in Parkville off of Joppa Road has live rock for I think 6.99/lb...that's where I got my Fiji. They have others as well too.

do a search online also you can find some great deals on rock and some stores offer free shipping on it alot of times it comes in 45-50 # box lots for just over 100$ depending on where your looking.
just research the store before you purchase.

I would suggest you take a look at seasave and also Exotic Aquatics. I personally havent been to seasave because they are only open on saturday but exotic is a verrrry nice store and they have some nice lr, its where i got all of my lr. Also if you dont mind a drive to lancaster PA, that fish place is a crazy huge store with loads of cheap stuff and live rock.

Ricks Fish and Pet supply will sell you live rock for 4 bucks a pound if you buy over 50 lbs. Although it doesnt look very good from what ive seen.

picking your live rock is essential in your cycle times and water quality when first setting up. i have been flamed many times here for having as much as i have in my tank already (and for respect of the flamers, i am not saying it is ok for him to do the same). i had a coral specialist come to my house to set up my tank, he insisted on this certain indo-pacific rock. its the best, most colorfull, full of life, rock i have seen (i paid $9 a lb for it -normally $12 but over 100lbs so it was discounted). my point is, dont go cheap on the rock. find the best you can. and best doesnt always mean most expensive. i wish i knew a place up there where you could get this rock, it has made all the difference in my tank. good luck with your tank.
