Does any one have a good place to buy live rock from. The LFS here in Jax Fl. are getting from $6 to $11 a pound thats between $330. and $600. just for rock. (they probally order from the net and double or triple the price) Has anyone ordered LR off the net. I see the rock on the net is more reasonable however how do you make sure they don`t send you some bricks or some undesireable live or dead rock . Any suggestions on where to order.
Thanks Lydell

ive heard that this site has great live rock that isnt too expensive. You'll need to cure any rock you have shipped. Your local fish store might actually have CURED rock which would be more expensive.
Even if the site you order from says they are selling CURED rock, through the shipping there will be die-off and you'll have to recure the rock.
This site is out of Miami so id just order from them.

I've never ordered live rock from the net at least not yet..but anyways this website offers like a 6 day period if the livestock dies or isn't what you want you can send it back. Sounds like an ok deal to me.

If SWF.com's livestock is any indication of its LR, I would DEFINATELY buy from them; in fact, I plan on buying some to go in the 10 gallon nano I am starting, and whatever can't stay in there goes in the display tank after it cures (I could always use more there)
