"Used" LR like the stuff you posted for sale, sure, you can find for cheap, but buyer also runs the risk of pests. Regardless of how pest free someone THINKS their LR is, there could always be something in it that the seller doesn't know about.

you run the risk of pests anyways is what im saying , even if you qt your gonna have to go all out in order to keep pests out.

so buy liverock that appears to be pest free, with some reading you can easily find out what it is we dont want.


i never said stores sell liverock for $3 i said it can be got at 2-3$

In Quebec City, I haven't found live rock less than $8/lb, and that's if you buy in bulk. I opted for dry rock at a chain store, came up to about $1.51/lb. After 4 months, my rock is purple and everything seems fine. I originally bought 15 pounds of live rock and and then added the base rock.
