    I picked this up for $50 from a guy who was needing to make some money quick. He said it was atleast 40lbs, we didnt weigh it there at his place but it felt like atleast 40lbs. I got it home and it weighed at 52lbs. That comes out to $0.96 per pound!!! It originally came from a 15yr old tank at the LFS I use to work at.

    Like they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words.....

    This is all hand picked coral out of a 1200lb order many years ago. When they redid the reef tank, all of the corals they ordered came with rock, so they brokedown what was already there and redid it.

    You CANNOT buy liverock like this anywhere unless you come across a deal like this. When do find something half as nice as this, you have to pay out the butt. I bought it with the idea of reselling it, but I am tempted to keep it, and sell off some of what I have already and triple my money anyways.

    hahahahaha

    After that last post, it did seem as if I was being conceited, hahaha.

    Im just a lucky reefer junkie who is always on the lookout for stuff, and this time I had the extra money to actually buy it!
