Cheapest Place to Buy LR

[ImprezaSTi]

I've noticed that buying LR online seems to be a lot cheaper, as low as $2/lb, only disadvantage is you don't know what the rock is going to look like. So what are the cheapest places to buy LR in Calgary?

your lucky if you can get it for $5/lb but its usally $7-10 im gonna be getting a bunch of boxes of caribsea reef bones in the next week i hope, its just dead live rock wich will seed over time ive used it a few times and i cant even tell what rock i payed 7/lb and what i payed 2/lb for
thier in 40lb boxes wich is usally 3-4 rocks so thier great for the base or in bigger tanks ill have some for sale for $80 per box

oh wow, i really don't want to pay 3-4 times the price just to get it locally..

seems like I will be ordering online, did you order yours from dr foster and smith? how much is shipping?

They are based in Wisconsin. I doubt they will ship to Canada.

You can also opt to wait for a forum member to sell their tank. Many of them have decent liverock for cheaper than retail.

Such is the cost of this hobby, friend.

for live rock i buy it from golds, but i usally buy 75% reef bones for the base then buy some live rock for the top wich saves major money
