I check my scales with a set of iron weights that I picked up at a yard sale real cheap years ago. They are made for the old balance type scales.
I use a digital kitchen scale to weigh piece by piece. It only goes to 25 lbs though I think, so if you had big pieces it wouldn't work. This scale cost $20 at the grocery store, and is actually quite accurate. I use it to weigh reef chemicals too for mixing for my dosers. It uses a 9V battery that I unplug when I'm not using the scale. For larger amounts I have a digital bathroom scale that I use to weigh myself. I find it accurate enough for live rock batches that are over 100 lbs. This scale was $50 on sale at Extra Foods or something like that. Can't remember what batteries it uses.

anyone with anything more ideal for LR?
I have peices that are easily 25+ lbs... There's gotta be a middle ground...any culinary red seals out there have a line on a cheap kitchen scale that can go up to 30-40 lbs?

Use a bucket and a hanging fish scale. Typically these scales are 50lb capacity and can be fairly accurate in the lower range. I have one I use for luggage and it works OK but it's just a spring and dial one, if you get a digital one with an S-beam type load cell your accuracy can be within 0.1%.
