Live Rock Pricing-rip off?

[discus4everGrl]

Am in the planning process of a sw tank. My lfs sells live rock for $5.99 a lb. Is that a rip off?

No. If you think you can do better fly a hundred kilos back from fiji nd see how much the freight bill is

Doh-gotcha

Well i know a LFS that sells LR for 5$ a pound ( canadian $ ) and it is a rip-off 'cause their live rock sucks..it's like 90 % base rock bathing with cheap live rock.
If the LR in your store looks good no it's not a rip-off

ahah i pay 11$ a pound. So i'd say it's good, or atleast a hell of a lot better than here.

i paid 14$ pounds for some....but it was worth it.

around here at my lfs, the good figi/tonga lr is 7.99 a pound, and they have some marshall island live rock for 12.99 a pound, 5 sounds good as long as its good quality (as mentioned ealier)
