    Well, I just came back from a LFS. I found that they are selling the base rocks for $1.50 :eek:.

    I bought mine from ~3.50/lb grr...only if i knew. The rocks are the same as the Fiji rocks some online places sell. Only if I knew that before, I would only pay $50 for 40lbs+

    Well, if you live in SoCal, let me know. I can tell you where they are at.

    The stores in my area sell LR for $10-13/lb. So it could be worse. Luckily I found someone tearing down a tank and bought his LR for $3/lb.
