LF- live rock

[troni]

looking for live rock for my very first SW aquarium. dont wanna pay much more than 2 a lbs

Wow, $2/lb! Good luck with that.

Around here, $3/lb and up is standard from fellow reefers and way more in the LFS.

I thought Edmonton sw stuff was more expensive than in Vancouver/Burnaby.

Edmonton is more expensive, but every now and then you can find a deal.

FYI I've found those deals before ($2/lb) but the 3 times in the past 4 years when I saw those deals, I asked why so cheep? and it was because the rock was covered in either aptasia or majano's or hair algae.

oic. well heres hoping maybe someone will shoot me a good price still maybe more then 2 but good. maybe ill buy 50 lbs for now.

2.00 in Edmonton is very rare 4,5 is more likely. Good luck with your hunt. You could add some base rock to help with your costs and it will seed quickly with the live rock you get.
