Need to buy cured live rock

I live in Northeast PA and I'm looking to buy cured live rock, but the shipping costs are extremely high from the on-line dealers I've seen. Can somebody point me to a dealer in my area (or at least one on the east coast) that has prime cured live rock?
Thanks

If shipping is the problem bringing costs up - let me say this. Wait and buy it on sale, 2.99 to 3.99 is common to find pricing down to on line. Also you get what you pay for. Many LFS are up from 5.99 to 9.99 and are usually not near the quality I have seen from online sources. Check this site out too!
Many have been more than satisfied with shipments recieved.

I would recommend buying from SWF. I bought 100 pounds and was very pleased. The shipping is free on live goods over a cetain amount best I can remember. I did have to do some scrubbing and rinsing in salt water. They say that you should let it cure for a week after you get it. I went ahead and added it to my DT because I was setting up a new tank and was going to use the LR to cycle my tank. Hope this helps.

keep checking the classified section. You should be able to get some great rock from people looking to downsize or get out of the hobby.
