Rocks and Sand

Hi there!
Does anyone have any LR or LS to sell? Or do you guys know where the best place to get LR or LS is? I'm just setting up a 50 gallon and I want to cycle it asap

I find King Ed or J&L have good prices, you'll probably be able to get it for $5.99/lbs at King Ed and J&L will probably match the price.

hm,...What type of LR is that price for? I just found out from buy and sell that Aquafanatics has a special for Fiji Live Premium Rock for $5,.. that seems pretty cheap,..... but is there a difference in quality of LR from differend LFS? and how come the Kanai LR is so cheap at J&L, is there a diff between that and Fiji LR? I have too many newbie questions

The differences between live rock from one store to another are pretty slim if any at all. When your looking at live rock I like (personal opinion) to find rock that is porous and light, the heavier the rock the more you'll need to get the aquascaping done. If you had a brick or a porous rock that weighed the same, in my opinion the porous rock would be better, you'd have a larger peice to work with as well as more area for bacteria and small inverts and other life.
