What should one look for in live rocks? I went to the store in Stamfor today and was told that "Premium" live rock sells for $10 a pound. Does this sound reasonable? What does this rock have that the rock in Queens doesn't have? I'm new at this, and planning on setting up a 24 gallon Nano cube. Does 20 pounds of rock sound about like the right amount?

Manharthur Welcome to Manhattan Reefs.
The 20pounds so good but the price sounds really high though. Look out for someone local selling LR you'll get a much better deal. Probably something like $3-$4 a lb.
