Yeah but keep in mind this live rock is at least TWICE as alive as your standard live rock =) Hence the price.

Myka 03-16-2009 05:21 PM
Hey at least both me and him got a good laugh. :lol:

Aquattro 03-16-2009 05:37 PM
Agreed. You'd have to pay me 9/lb to take rock with xenia on it!! :)

Well said, but even then I personally wouldn't even take it. This guy must be one of those experts I keep hearing about.

Well, if they pay you 9/lb, you can then turn around and sell it for another 4/lb to someone that likes xenia! :)

Their name really isn't important, is it?

Everyone is a self proclaimed expert. :lol:

It was rhetorical :lol:

I've had the same problem as Myka lately. We've both been trying to buy rock, or full setups for the rock..

Seem the other trouble is people with ~40lbs of rock, seem to think it's actually 100. I dunno about you, but it would sure be hard to fit 100 pounds of rock in a 33 gallon.. Wonder which LFS @ $13/pound...

banditpowdercoat 03-17-2009 12:15 AM
Total Pet in kamloops has rock $13.99/Lb I thought, what a deal LOL

Aquattro 03-17-2009 12:24 AM
I paid 18/pound for my first batch of live rock, although it was covered in a lot more life than you'd ever see these days. and this was 15 years ago! sure glad the price has come down! :)

Chowder 03-23-2009 05:35 PM
Yup.

Myka 03-23-2009 06:40 PM
Bumping it up for someone in particular? ;)
