starr, how many pounds are you looking to purchase?

yea, i agree..at 1.95 a pound. That a darn good price. Is the rock fully or partially cured?

 

[starr]

It said that it was pre-cured but to cure at home when you get it before adding to your tank it kinda sounds like walt-smith transhipped rock to me. i have found some others that have $2.00 a pound fiji and marshal island rock also. but i'm just do not shure about mail ordering stuff for my tank other then hardware type things.

all of my 200 lbs of LR was via mail order. I am very happy with the results.

-Starr, remember this how your LFS gets their live animals. I order quite a bit this way and have had no problems.
I would also like to point out that you get what you pay for with rock, don't expect much life on that $2 rock.
