Why don't you get some base rock and get another local reffer to put it in his/her tank for 30 to 60 days. Then you will have some live rock, no shipping, and maybe be able to trade something that they may want locally.

Ahh.. ;-(

Okies..

Anyway, BaseRock is a good alternative.. LiveRock here is 5.99 a lb, but they sell the baserock for 1.99 a lb.. Something I don't understand, cause in a few months, it'd be [acronym:6d1c19403c="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:6d1c19403c] anyway.. I'm going to be migrating things to a bigger tank, and may have some [acronym:6d1c19403c="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:6d1c19403c] available in about a month, if your still needing some.

I'll check back after we get our tank setup, and any extra that I have is yours for the picking.


Thanks.

Well my suggestion is the cheapest way into [acronym:78b0da6817="Live rock"]lr[/acronym:78b0da6817]. All you have to do is find someone willing to place your rock into their sump (or main) for a little while. You will have live rock at a base rock price. Then as you can better afford it get a little [acronym:78b0da6817="Live rock"]lr[/acronym:78b0da6817] from liverocks.com so that you have some coraline algae to spread to your other rock.

Just how big is your tank? If all your needing is 10 lbs. then shop around at your [acronym:78b0da6817="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:78b0da6817] for some base rock, be picky, get some very nice rock and then if you can't get someone to place it in their tank, maybe the [acronym:78b0da6817="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:78b0da6817] will place it in thier tank for a small fee.

Here ya go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...344624552&rd=1

That's less than a buck a lb right now, before shipping. I have ordered from these folks more than once and their stuff is great. As a matter of fact I'm going to get some more for my 46 [acronym:9874f3f6aa="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:9874f3f6aa].

Shipping would only be 39 bux to your location. They also have a web site, www. hirocks.com, I'm sure they have a 30 lb box for sale but most of the time you get a better price on auction.
