Sort of a survey...
How many pounds do people usually buy at once?
From most places I have checked, the shipping amounts to some about $46-$50 for the smallest amount of LR (10 lbs) that one can purchase.
Together with the cost of the rock, this averages out to about $8 a lb from most places. Unless you're absolutely sure you're getting quality rock (obviously some places have a reputation that preceeds them in this respect), it doesn't seem any more financially viable to buy LR online than it does from the LFS. Is there any point to ordering smaller amounts of LR?
