B.C. Live Rock

[phillybean]

Just a question, not sure if it is "legal" or not.

Given that fact that there are quite a few cold water reefs, has anyone taken rock from the coast (some where away from pollution...or as far away as possible) to use in a tank? I'm sure it would have to be cured afterwards.

For whatever reason if the live rock won't work, could you take the rock, bleach it and use as base rock?

Like I said, I'm not sure if it is legal or not, but for 75 pounds or so, I'm sure you could get a permit of sorts.

Any feedback is welcome
