I have and its good. The key is to look for Walt Smith. You will notice that a lot of people have it. Jeff's exotic fish is having a sale on Tonga branch if you prefer that.

Premium Aquatics has AWESOME LR.
Fully Cured for around 43.39 a pound..if you get like 40 pounds or more.

If I remember, the reason i didn't get my rock from FF Express was because the LP and also WAlt Smith rock wasn't cured.

With PA. You'll have some die off but won't be nothing like uncured.

Its your call.
myself...I always go with cured.

I've always heard great things about harbor aquatics. I've never used their rock, though. IMO the best cheap rock is by checking the classifieds for a while. I got 70 pounds of rock that had been in a reef tank for two years, encrusted with coralline, sponges, foramniferans, feather dusters, all for $50 because a guy had to get rid of it. Check the for sale forum also and sometimes you can find somebody nearby with good rock.

I got 90 pounds of Tonga Ridge Rock from ffe. It was great- alot of reds, oranges, green, and purple.
