i have bought the 20-25 pound order from here twice. i was pretty pleased with the quality of the rock. however, i did get the rock + shipping = 20 lbs both times. there are other posts on this subject if you do a search.

Jonesy - ive always wanted to buy liverock from SWF but, i dont want to have to cure it myself. did you cure it? if so was it a pain? how did you do it at your home?

Even rock bought locally is going to have some die off so its still got to "cure" just the same......
