Live rock price

Is $3 per pound a a good price for carribean LR? THis is supposedly a sample pic.

 

[joeocean]

$3 a pound sonds like a good price. At my local pet store it is $6.99 a pound!

 

[Joe DeSantis]

That is a good price but also take into account the work involved with the curing process.

 

[K9coral]

Yeah, I have a few garbage cans and a LOT of salt. $7 a pound - its not gold ...

Yeah at my store it goes for $5.95/lb but that the good tongan stuff. It Atlanta it sometimes skyrocket to about $9 or more a pound. If it's already cured you'll pay probably a few more dollars /lb. Three dollars is good. Just watch out for mantis scrimps since it's atlantic rock oh yeah and fire worms.

Exactly Dragoon. The main turnoff for me with Atlantic LR is that it always seems to contain one or more Mantis and other unwanted creatures.

I got my Fiji LR from Live Aquaria for about the same price including shipping. They have Carribean LR for about $2/pound plus shipping...

yeah id say $3/lb is pretty good..the avg sounds like between $6-8/lb...my LFS sells it for 5.99 a lb...

 

[Meloco14]

Yeah thats a pretty good price. If you want caribbean LR, check out etropicals.com, I got some from there last fall, it was on sale and was less than $3 shipped. I don't know the price it is now, but its still cheap. It was pretty good, but nothing special. But for the price it was good. I got a couple really big pieces and then some medium and very few small pieces, so they send a good assortment.

I have a dealer that will sell it to me for $2.25 a pound. With shipping it comes to $3.08 a pound. That is $139.00 shipped to your door for a 45 pound box of premium Fiji LR. Not to bad.

Oceanpro Aquatics was just getting rid of 50# boxes for $85. I was gonna pick one up, but then I thought I'd be buying it just to buy it- so I did the responsible thing and went to my LFS and spent $200 on some other stuff instead.
