last time i saw it was 10 bucks a pounds :rolleyes:

It depends on how much you buy, don't quot me on this but i think if you buy 150+lbs the price is about $8lbs. But if AIman sees this he can confirm the price (Mastercard paid for the rock :lol: )

Jeez $10 a pound?... I still have trouble paying $5.50 a pound when I know the stores are buying it for $2 a pound... Oh well.. I'm makin my own

Thats expensive, I just bought about 120 lbs at J&l and paid 4.29 a pound, even with shipping cost it was 5 bucks, and the rock as a tong of coraline algae and also believe it or not some macro algae. I find that most things are much more expensive at AI.

I still have problems with mail order stuff. I like supporting local shops and dealing one on one with the owners they get to know you and you get to know them. This works in all industry. Once you know them and they know you things come a little easier, for eg.where I take my truck and van to get work done they can always squeeze me in know matter how busy they are, but if I can wait another day on say an oil change and they are busy I will accomadate them. The same with A I the price was higher than J&L but A I gave me a good price on my tanks and good service and and that is worth me supporting them :biggrin:

mmmm.... I think this should have been in another post :mrgreen:

If you got to hand pick the rock 10.00/lb is a deicent price. If you just bought a box, then I would have done mail order.

Um, pretty sure last time you were looking at hand picking rock, you thought $6 was too much. :razz:

HAHA

Hmm I guess I ll get into the conversation here....From what I have found in my tank, I find it that in the area of direct water flow, there is a lot of algae growing on the rocks, and when the flow is low, the algae seems to grow on the glass....Am I repeating what some of you have said????? :cry:

when was I looking at rock in edmonton? :mrgreen: but thats cuz the rock I wanted was 32lbs :rolleyes: and I don't ever recall a hand picked price of 6.00, maybe you ment 16.00.
